Abstract

Modern workplaces often have Open Plan Office Design, clear glass offices or even superdesk -one huge, continuous single desk for all staff- designs in order to stimulate communication and ideas among employees. While the benefits of open-plan workspace are present, individuals no longer have a private space to take their timeout. This chapter explores the positive and negative impacts of open-plan office on employees and proposes some design (a case study of a proof of concept) related remedy for well-being restoration.
