A closed office layout is a workspace


design where employees work in
separate, enclosed offices or
cubicles, providing privacy, reduced
distractions, and a quieter work
environment.
What is a Hybrid Office Layout?

A hybrid office layout combines


elements of both open and closed
office layouts, offering a mix of
shared spaces for collaboration and
private areas for focused work to
provide flexibility and balance in the
workplace.

planned layout ensures smooth
movement and easy access to
equipment, reducing delays in work.
