6 Constructive Factors to an Efficient Office
Reception!
Being a space that introduces a company or a
workspace to an outsider, a Reception area needs to embody the philosophy and
the character of the Company and create a lasting impression.
As the saying goes, “First impression is the best
impression”. What factors go into creating a Reception that is visually appealing
and functionally viable?
· Inviting
Ambience and Pragmatic Layout
-
A space that is welcoming with a pleasant
colour palette incorporating the company colours.
-
Defined spaces for a Reception desk,
adequate Seating units and comfortable Circulation areas to access adjoining
work spaces are essential to create a convenient Reception area.
-
Decor elements like Abstract Paintings in
tune with the company’s philosophy and Brand manifesto as Wall Stickering or Graphic
design help in creating the character of an Office.
· Striking
Logo Panel
-
A well designed Reception backdrop or
even the reception desk that sports the Company name and its work philosophy as
a point of focus is fundamental to hold a visitor’s attention.
-
Addition of a false ceiling and different
flooring for this specific area help highlight it further.
· Functional
Furniture Units
-
A well equipped Reception desk with a
comfortable work top and adequate storage space for work equipment is a must
have.
-
Comfortable Seaters for visitors with materials
that can be easily cleaned is an essential requirement.
-
Scratch proof Laminates, PVC and Corian are
some surface finishing materials that are easy to maintain and look appealing.
· Practical
Surface Treatments
-
Non-slippery flooring that is easy to
maintain is an important aspect. Carpeting, when used should be stain proof and
easily washable.
-
Wash proof paints for wall colours are an
essential aspect to help keep wall surfaces neat.
-
False ceilings are requisite elements to
cover Electrical, AC and fire alarm ducting.
-
Blinds chosen to cover Windows and Glass
panels should be user friendly and maintenance free.
· Adequate
Lighting
-
Natural light, in addition to being an
energy conservation element also improves the well being of people using a
space, should be harnessed as much as possible.
-
Artificial light should be a good
combination of working white light and ambience creating warm whites.
· Ingenious
Technology
-
Office automation systems that help
control Lighting and Air conditioning help in creating optimum working
conditions.
-
Security systems that help with check-in
for employees and in managing visitors is a precious addition.
-
Providing free Wi-fi, Electrical sockets and
USB ports is an appreciable addition that would help visitors to work when
waiting.
Bye for now and wishing you all a rejuvenating
weekend!
