Before you start

Place the desk in direct sight of the entrance, with waiting seats beside it and a clear path onward.

Room details and site checks
Layout
Place the desk in direct sight of the entrance, with waiting seats beside it and a clear path onward.
Detail
Use a durable counter face and a warm, even light on the visitor side; keep the sign visible from the door.
Trade-off
A dramatic desk can make a strong first impression but consume space needed for circulation.
  • Test the entry sightline from outside
  • Walk a visitor route without crossing desk queues
