Office Design Online — Plan Your Workspace in 3D

Office Design in the Era of Hybrid Work

Most home offices were originally guest rooms, dining rooms, or corners of bedrooms. They weren't designed for 8-hour-a-day video work, ergonomic seating, or the constant background of video calls. Aedifex lets you redesign the space properly without buying anything until the plan is right.

What a Working Office Needs

1. Desk Position

The desk decides everything else. Aedifex catalogs standard desk sizes (140×70 cm, 160×80 cm, L-shape) with accurate dimensions. Drop your desk onto the plan and consider:

  • Window behind you, not in front — backlight on calls is unforgiving
  • Window to the side — best for natural light without glare
  • Desk against an empty wall — gives you the most camera-friendly background

Aedifex's 3D walkthrough lets you sit in the chair and see the camera's view. A plant or a piece of art behind you, framed by the camera angle, is the difference between a professional call and a "did I clean the dirty laundry pile" call.

2. Lighting

A good office needs:

  • Daylight from one side (north or south, depending on hemisphere)
  • A task lamp at the desk for evenings
  • Optional ring light or video light if calls are frequent

Place the lamps in 3D, switch the time of day, and see what your desk looks like at 9 AM, 2 PM, and 8 PM.

3. Storage Without Clutter Behind You

Bookshelves are great. Bookshelves on the wall behind your camera are the best — they communicate competence and avoid the blank-wall look. But they need to be tidy. Plan the placement and decide what goes on them before you buy.

Wall shelves, file cabinets, and credenzas are all in the catalog with real dimensions.

4. Ergonomic Spacing

Standard ergonomic minimums:

  • Eye-to-monitor: 50-70 cm
  • Elbow at desk height: chair adjusted so forearms parallel to floor
  • Keyboard tray if monitor on top of desk pushes screen too high

Aedifex shows the human figure at proper proportions. You can see whether your monitor is too low before you buy the desk.

Specific Use Cases

Home Office in 4 m²

The smallest usable office. A 120 cm desk against one wall, a chair, a single shelf above. Aedifex shows whether you can pull the chair out without hitting the door.

Two-Person Shared Office

Couples or roommates working from home. L-shape arrangement with desks facing away from each other (so video calls don't bleed into the other's audio). Aedifex's AI assistant can suggest the layout if you give it the room dimensions.

Open-Plan Studio Workspace

For a small business or creative studio. Multiple desks, shared meeting area, materials shelves. Plan the traffic flow so people aren't constantly walking behind cameras during calls.
