What is an office?

So, what is an office?

"A room, set of rooms, or building where the business of a commercial or industrial organisation or of a professional person is conducted."

"A room assigned to a specific person or a group of a person in a commercial or industrial organisation"

There are different spaces within an office; areas where the client's can see (i.e. reception areas, negotiation/meeting rooms) and areas where the clients can't see (i.e. employee's workspaces, the 'break' rooms/kitchen areas).

I am going to be designing an office space which focuses on the meeting/negotiation aspect of a professional office (e.g. law firms or accountants). The clients will be able to come and discuss their projects with their professional in an intimate and relaxed environment. Meaning that the client will not be limited in where they are able to go in my office (i.e. no areas which they can't go/explore). As I want my office to be intimate, it will be relatively small compared to some of the other offices on Putahi - I don't see this as a bad thing though :)
