[Decision guide]
What this article will help you decide
architects, designers, project and facility teams
check the solution on the plan before ordering and synchronize the visualization with the specification
do not mistake a beautiful visualization for a working document: dimensions, articles, engineering and plan version must match
How is a coffee point different from a kitchen?
Coffee point is designed for a short visit and drinks. A full kitchen handles heating and eating, and therefore requires more surface area, washing, ventilation and seating.
How to organize streams and storage?
Place cups by the coffee machine, dishes by the sink, and consumables in an accessible closet. Doors and drawers should not block the passage when used at the same time.
What materials are suitable for an office kitchen?
Check resistance to moisture, stains and regular cleaning, tightness of edges and repairability of fittings. Do not block ventilation with furniture.
How to calculate seats?
Focus on the peak break. Mix together a communal table, small tables and a counter while maintaining aisles. Solutions are presented in PoMo catalog.

A low-commitment first step
Review the layout and request a project plan
Send PDF or DWG with dimensions, number of users by zone, engineering restrictions, brand book and deadline. During office hours, the team will clarify missing data and prepare a verified layout plan and data sheet for the work specification.
- 01
You share the project details PDF or DWG with dimensions, number of users by zone, engineering restrictions, brand book and deadline.
- 02
We review the brief We clarify the restrictions, availability and scope of work.
- 03
You receive a clear next step verified layout plan and data sheet for work specification.
