Office design for collaborative work
Collaboration needs several scales: a quick team exchange, a project session and a formal meeting room.
[Short answer]
What does the company get?
Collaboration needs several scales: a quick team exchange, a project session and a formal meeting room. The solution is tied to the plan, building services, actual workload and launch schedule, then recorded in a line-item specification.
PoMo Union Office has been operating since 2004 and manages the project from initial data to installed furniture. The scope, deadline and cost are confirmed only after checking a specific task.

Why you can't start with a random directory
Choosing only by a picture or the price of one item makes the project impossible to control. One large meeting room cannot serve daily short conversations and pushes discussion back between desks.

[Expert review]
What distinguishes a working solution from a beautiful arrangement
For the "Office for Teamwork and Collaboration" challenge, we are not testing a set of items, but rather the relationship between human behavior, layout, engineering and operation. The three criteria below must appear in the design before ordering.
Speech privacy and background
We divide the tasks: muffle a distracting conversation, hide the content of the conversation or isolate the call. Each problem requires its own set of solutions.
- Required evidence
- Map of noisy, quiet and private scenarios
- What fails if overlooked
- Screens create a visual boundary but do not address speech privacy or reduce distractions.
Equal participation in a hybrid meeting
We check sightlines, camera frame, lighting, microphones, screen, power and the ability to display physical and digital content.
- Required evidence
- Furniture and AV equipment diagram with test call
- What fails if overlooked
- Some participants are not visible or audible, and the room is only open for face-to-face meetings.
Routes of people and services
We separate employees, visitors, queues, delivery and evacuation. Furniture should not turn a shortcut into a permanent detour.
- Required evidence
- Flow plan with peak usage scenarios
- What fails if overlooked
- The reception, kitchen or meeting room creates a traffic jam and distracts nearby workspaces.
[Result]
The result is a documented “Office design for collaborative work” solution that can be accepted against the plan, specification and delivered scope.
The work is based on four control points: initial data, planning solution, final specification, delivery and acceptance. Changes after approval are recorded and do not remain in correspondence.
- 01
Brief and plan
We collect staff, premises, restrictions, budget guidelines and launch date.
- 02
Planning and selection
We verify workstation fit, clearances, storage and building services, then compare compatible product ranges.
- 03
Specification
We record SKUs, dimensions, finishes, quantities, logistics, installation and approved substitutions.
- 04
Delivery and acceptance
We label each shipment by zone, assemble the furniture and close every item in the acceptance report.

How should the completed result be accepted?
Result criterion: The result is a documented “Office design for collaborative work” solution that can be accepted against the plan, specification and delivered scope. Check the plan, completeness, SKUs, finishes, assembly and recorded defects.
How is the cost calculated?
The cost is calculated after confirmation of layout, quantity, configurations, materials, address, logistics and installation. Unconfirmed prices are deliberately not published on the page.
Is it possible to implement the project in another city in Kazakhstan?
Yes. Design can be carried out remotely, and the route, packaging, installation and deadline are calculated for a specific city and site.
