Need Advice for Office Without Windows or Natural Light?

Question by Natural Light: Need Advice for Office Without Windows or Natural Light?
I have always had nice large windows in my office at work. I will be starting a new job soon, which I am excited about, except for one thing-- my office will be an interior office, i.e. no windows, no natural light. I really love natural light and I'm afraid that this set-up will give me headaches, low productivity, etc. Does anyone experience these problems while working in an interior office? Also, is there anything I can do to make the office feel more comfortable? Thank you for your help.

Go with some lamps, natural light bulbs, and turn the ceiling lights OFF

My husband and I are renting an office space for our web design company. We want it to have a very modern look and feel.

There are no windows because it is an interior office and the carpet is maroon so it is pretty dark inside. I want it to be bright like a modern office. Any ideas?

Question by CBNP: In Texas, can a medical office interior be constructed with partitions?
I am opening a medical clinic, is it possible to construct the walls with floor to ceiling partitions if they are sound proof? Are there any laws that govern this is Texas or in the US itself.

Best answer:

Answer by Rick
there are many laws that govern the building of an office building -- especially in the safety and ada access issues. -- best thing to do is to consult an architect who would be familiar with typical codes and requirements -- you can do some of this your self but it can be real time consuming if you do not know the proper procedures

Can knowledge sharing behavior be stimulated by office design?

Question by Delphi: Can knowledge sharing behavior be stimulated by office design?
The question is about how office design can affect peoples knowledge sharing behavior in a business organization?

Best answer:

Answer by ashj_1218
Sure it can affect it info-sharing...that is why cubicles are the devil. Offices that are set up like classrooms tend to have the best cohesiveness and sense of accomplishment. Mostly because people are able to work with one another, see the face to face, and address problems as a team. Anything that partitions off areas is negative to working together and imparting knowledge. An added bonus to having a classroom like setting is that people are less likely to work on ‘personal' stuff when they are on the clock, knowing that there are other eyes watching what they are doing (or capable of doing that).

I've just moved to England and I'm setting up my brand new office equipment (I actually need many office furniture!), it would be great also if the company delivers them door to door.  Thanks.

Massive re-organizing underway. Question: What to KEEP vs what to HEAVE?

tuesday Asked: Massive re-organizing underway. Question: What to KEEP vs what to HEAVE?

I hate my office. It's ugly and would require a great deal of money, time and energy to paint, replace carpet, and buy decent office furniture.
--
Hanging on to impractical, hideous, old stuff that either doesn't work, or means a project isn't the way I want to live my life!
--
Example: ugly, old, cheap IKEA tabletop desk. Top's bubbled from cleaning it. Looks and is gross. Files and papers in BINS, vs File cabinet. Can't access anything, and end up giving up. Office microwave and coffeepot are old and gross. (to name a few)
--
Replacing any/all is too expensive. New is out of the question. Even Thrift store items aren't cheap. Thrift stores are asking $50 and up for an old file cabinet, and $100 or more for a used, beat up desk. Same goes for Thrift store microwave and coffeemaker..plus it would be bringing in old, crummy items that other people donated because they didn't want..so, MORE JUNK!
--
At this point I'd rather sit on the floor, with papers and files piled next to me that have to look at all this ugliness.
--
If it can't be replaced right now, is it insane to just toss it all, anyway?!
--
I don't have clients come to the Office..EVER..because it's so awful. I go to them. Working in an environment you HATE, that makes you sick just being there is NUTS!
--
Would chucking it all be ‘Biting off my nose to spite my face'..?
HELP!

"When in doubt, throw it out!" is a pretty good motto for organizing.Try washing your microwave and coffeepot with something gentle. Also, decorating helps! Just get the junk out of that office and hang some paper streamers and balloons around it. Make it look like a birthday party.

Cross that! Paint optical illusions on the wall!

You sound frustrated.I support you in your desire to clean up your space, and am a BIG advocate for space clearing to open up new energy. First get rid of anything that is REAL trash, dump (shred?) old files to ease up the number of file boxes. If you still need the old desk top, can you cover it with a tablecloth to make it look nicer? Just today Target is advertising a microwave for $39 and storage bins rather cheap (back to school). Clear judiciously at first with the intention of bringing in more clientele that will increase business so you can afford new things. As you get things more in order you will be inspired to carry on and create even more order.
