i am decorating office is is better open plan or 2 rooms with reception?what would you prefer?

Question

office is accountancy serv.

Answer 1

Depends on the type of business, if there are clients who give any kind of personal information or deal with any sensitive subject at all, then go for privacy with reception. It isn't good for clients to feel vulnerable. Otherwise, go open. Accounting involves finances, and most may prefer to keep it to themselves, I would imagine.

Answer 2

Privacy would be good if there would be a window in each individual office and enough space that occupants would not feel boxed in. This is good if workers don't want to be distracted.
If the workers are doing related work, an open plan could work, however, a bookkeeper usually needs peace and quiet so she can concentrate.
Design depends on function and space available.

Answer 3

Being an accountant myself, I would want the 2 rooms with reception. It's important to be able to shut a door to have a private conversation or to think something through.

An open plan is too distracting. You hear every conversation (phone or live), whether you want to or not. You hear people eating, drinking, and whatnot.

Answer 4

open plan sucks, to much noise, can hear peoples phone calls and coversations which can distract u from your work. i would go for reception and 2 ofiices for more privacy
