1. Identify the factors that should be
considered in determining whether
or not landscaping is feasible.
2. Present the advantages that would
result from the use of landscaping if
it were used in designing the new

5. 1. Identify the factors that should be considered in determining whether or not
landscaping is feasible.
6. Measure the area of the office with enough
space to expand and build the design to suit
the style and working culture of the office.
Smart arrangement
Ensuring the arrangement of the interior
creates a connection between the personnel
for optimal work, meeting the requirements of
the layout to ensure that it is easy to come up
with suitable design ideas, allowing everyone
to have a good time.
7. The light and the most ideal vision
The most comfortable working space with Light is a
factor that greatly affects the layout of the
workplace, which is always placed next to large
windows, where the most ideal conditions for light
absorption and vision are available.
8. 2. Present the advantages that would result from the use of landscaping if it were
used in designing the new layout.
9. The view from an office is crucial since it
motivates workers to work harder.
A working space that has built-in trees
always feels vibrant and new.
10. A broad vision will create more inspiration
as well as ideas in the working process,
increasing work productivity.
The outside perspective is the next element; it also contributes to improved
performance and allows for citywide visibility.
Landscape elements can bring unexpected benefits to the office work environment.
11. First, the office balcony
● This is a place to relax after stressful
meetings or an afternoon tea place for office
people.
● At the same time, it is also a place of
creativity and inspiration for new
compositions, products and works.
Next, the combination of green office
● The benefit of using this type is to provide a
clean workspace without the need
for expensive machinery, which saves a lot of
money for businesses.
● Besides, creating a positive working
environment increases work productivity.
● Not only that, it also helps employees reduce
stress at work and improve their
health.
● Finally, reduce the noise from the outside
environment.
12. STUDY-CASE
Tom Gaffey and Peter Finney, partners in a law prac- Are are adding a third partner, Richard
DeFrain, to their practice. This necessitates moving to a new location, which is in a 40-story
office building in downtown Chicago. They have negotiated a long-term lease on an area
measuring 74 feet by 64 feet on the 27th floor of the building. Because the space is in the
interior of the building, none of the area has windows. Of the space they have leased, an area
measuring 54 feet by 64 feet needs to be designed. A second area (you need not be
concerned about it) measuring 20 feet by 64 feet houses the following: restrooms, mechanical
room, galley-style kitchen, and a store room in which office supplies and inactive records/files
will be housed. The area you are to design contains no support pillars with which you need to
be concerned. You are to use a 1/4 inch to 1 foot scale. Your instructor will provide you with
the paper cutouts that reflect various furniture items and the copier. Each employee will place
his/her computer on the desktop or work table.
As you draw the perimeter of the area you are to design, the 64-foot dimension runs
horizontally, whereas the 54-foot dimension runs vertically. Seventeen feet to the right of the
lower-left corner of your perimeter drawing is a set of double doors, measuring a total of six
feet. Sixteen feet to the left of the upper right corner of the perimeter drawing is a three-foot
wide door that leads to the area housing the restrooms, mechanical room, kitchen, and store
room.
13. As an office designer, you are to plan the office area for the following:
- 3 attorneys
- 2 legal secretaries
- 1 clerk typist
- 1 receptionist
- 1 law clerk (this individual compiles briefs for the attorneys and is responsible for
the law library)
- The equipment and furniture consists of the following items:
- 7 desks and desk chairs
- 24 four-drawer file cabinets
- 17 four-shelf bookcases (one for each attorney and the remainder are to be
placed in the law library where the law clerk has his/her office)
- 4 sofas (one for each attorney and one in the reception area)
- 18 upholstered chairs (four for each attorney's office and six for the
reception area.)
- 3 small round conference tables (one for each attorney) 1 conference table
and 8 chairs
- 1 table and 4 chairs in the law library
- 1 copier
You are to determine the appropriate size for each of the following areas that will
be constructed using permanent walls:
● Reception area
● Conference room
● Attorney office (3 attorneys)
● Law library/law clerk work area
You are to decide whether the two legal secretaries and the one clerk typist are to be
housed in an open area or an area surrounded by permanent walls, or in area that
uses a combination of permanent walls and an open area. You will also be locating all
of the file cabinets near these three individuals. If you wish, you can place such other
amenities as plants, lamp tables, and so on throughout the premises.

15. The reception area
• Design overview
Placed opposite the door of the lawyer's office, including
Two horizontal tables in two corners of the room.
One table for two receptionists
The other table will have 1 sofa and 2 chairs to receive guests or wait.
And indispensable are 2 potted plants. one next to the door and one next to the
sofa
• Position
We can look the picture to locate of this
room
16. The legal and typing
room
● Position
We can look the picture to locate of this room
● Function
For legal clerk, they get documents from lawyers then
they provide legal support, check legal documents,....
For clerk typist, this person will receive a request from
the legal clerk, who will then draft the legal document
and provide the results to the legal clerk.
Therefore, these two departments are arranged in one
room to easily exchange and complete legal documents
and documents in the best way.
17. The law library
Position
● The law library is a closed space that needs
privacy, so it is designed and arranged in a
closed wall between the law clerk's room and
the legal secretariat's room. The library room is
next to the law clerk's room from which it is
easy to check, control, observe and receive
information from the library.
Function
● Law libraries have many benefits such as
● Provide access to legal and regulatory
information
● To manage and store information and
documents
● To provide a welcoming place for everyone
18. The Law clerk
• Function
Researching laws and legal precedents from
previous cases to provide information to
contribute to the judge's and attorney's
decision on the case being handled.
Advising on information about the facts of the
case to the judge and members of the legal
team
Preserve evidence, take statements from
witnesses, and assist judges in proceedings.
Drafting legal documents, including
proceedings and court summaries
In general, it is mainly related to papers and
documents, so we have a law clerk's office
located near the lawyer's rooms and the law
library room where there are documents and
printers to use when needed.
19. Gathering place of many people at a place, a certain period of time.
Through discussion to find the optimal solution or method to solve a functional problem of the
organization or to exchange and communicate information and commands necessary to run the
operation of the organization. The meeting plays a very important role, because it is where the
atmosphere and culture of the organization is maintained, and is one of the ways for the organization
to tell its employees: “You are part of the team.” .
The conference room
20. The attorneys
The function:
● All 3 attorney offices provide legal advice,
settlement and protection of the interests of an
individual or a group or a company.
● Because it is a law firm and there are 3
categories in the law. So we designed with 3
rooms with 3 different functions
● For the first division, this division is in charge
of the civil law field
● As for the second department, this department
is in charge of administrative law.
● As for the last division, this division is in charge
of criminal law
21. Zone B has an area of 20x64 feet including
rooms:
· Restroom
· Mechanical room
· Kitchen
· Store room
22. Conclusion
The group obtained more pages of knowledge for the
future while studying, exchanging, and absorbing new
knowledge with instructor Nguyen Tran Duyen Phu.
With the Mini case, the group studied to discover a
method to arrange logically with the topic's
requirements, as well as to create conditions for the
rooms to be more connected. The Case portion is an
overview of the office, divided into two zones A and B,
with the team presenting the draft layout of the rooms
as well as the location of each room in accordance with
the space provided.The above layout can make offices
both aesthetically beautiful and easy to navigate, and
employees will appreciate it. Departments are mixed
up, lowering firm costs and enhancing operational
efficiency.
