Easy access
Work places which are accessible by a varied range of transport modes; on foot, cycling, buses, train and car.  Obviously if you can get to your office on foot you save yourself a fortune and you must be lucky enough to be one of those people who have their work place around the corner which means it’s a hop, skip and jump from your own bed to your office desk!

Ease of movement
The office should be well laid and not cluttered with office furniture.  Office desks need to be tidy and filing cabinets not taking up too much room. The office needs to be laid out for any user to find their way around it easily and with independence.

Character of the office
A visually pleasing and open space environment with all office furniture having a sense of place.
