How much space does your team need?
Allow about 10 SQM of internal space per person as a starting point. This is the planning convention most Malta office buildings are designed around, and offices listed with a stated capacity on MaltaOffices.com average exactly 10 SQM per person. Add room for meeting rooms, a kitchenette and growth: a team of 20 typically ends up in 260–280 SQM. Our office space per employee guide works through more examples, and the Office Space Calculator does the sums for you.
