Planning office spaces: a practical guide for managers and designers  

In 2010 'Planning office spaces' was published. The book provides a short and practical view on the choices and opportunities that are provided by implementing a new office concept. The major ingredient is a list of possible workplaces that shows managers and professionals different possibilities in the early stages of rethinking an office accommodation strategy. The book is grounded on the dutch bestseller 'de Werkplekwijzer' (the workplace guide) which was published in 2006. By and large the same framework is used, with international standards and (stunning) international photography.
