My current job needs me to design lots of offices and commercial building. Dealing with layout plan, façade and the circulation flow, there are many aspects to consider. I also do 3D modelling using sketch up design tools and completing the working drawing in autoCAD.
In the design process, I have to draw the office wall partitions, office chairs, the table and bookshelves in layout plan to make sure it can tolerate with the circulation and flow.
I only do rough placement for the office furniture and office cubicles, as I have to pass the plan to interior department afterwards for more details.
In this business, our office also do design and built service, to make better profit. Sometimes, we suggest our client to get used office furniture instead of the new one. This really can cut cost because normally it cheaper than discount office furniture.
Cheap used office furniture doesn’t mean you won’t get comfortable office chairs. It depends on how you get the source for used office furniture. One of the best sources is to go to furniture liquidation. The furniture liquidators can get the good quality used office furniture as they also dealing with trash removal and relocation of office.
That is part of my story as a designer, I wish I can continue with another story and tips on the next entry.
