Why contiguous area matters
Contiguous floors can simplify security, technology, circulation and culture, but very large plates require careful zoning, daylight, egress and collaboration planning. Use a measured test-fit rather than a generic seat-density assumption.
Infrastructure for large teams
Review electrical load, backup strategy, cooling, fresh air, carrier diversity, vertical transport, parking, loading, emergency systems and facility-management capacity at planned peak occupancy.
Commercial comparison
Normalise area definitions and include maintenance, utilities, parking, taxes, fit-out, transport and expansion scenarios in total occupancy cost.
