Walkthrough checklist
- Sort paper and supplies by frequency and sensitivity.
- Place active files within reach and archive material away from the work surface.
- Check that storage can be locked where the work requires it.
Worked example
Imagine a counselor who keeps confidential paper files alongside ordinary stationery in a shared home office.
Give sensitive files a dedicated lockable location and keep active notes in a separate work tray. Confirm the arrangement fits the professional's handling practices and the household's privacy needs.
How to test it
Run a start and end of day desk reset using the planned storage.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Run offices along the perimeter where possible, with doors opening onto a shared corridor rather than desks.
- Detail
- Use translucent film at seated eye level and solid acoustic panels where conversations need privacy.
- Trade-off
- Full-height opaque partitions improve privacy but block borrowed light.
- Check privacy from corridor and adjacent office
- Confirm door clearance with furniture in place
