This reminds me of a thread last year that asked about the size of a typical American home. The person who asked the question got kind of angry at all of us for not getting a singular value that his thesis heavily relied on.
So my answer to this question (or any other one) is always 42.
I've always heard that the general go-by limit for a double loaded rectangular office plan is 50' wide before you really start getting into lack of adequate natural light issues....
Depends how cantilever it is at the 28th floor (OMA) or the degree of the acute angle the building terminates at (Libeskind).
If it's a Robert Stern... the answer is clearly what ever the entire floor space is because wealthy people cannot just fit into anything other than their own floors.
If it's Tschumi, it's the entire floor minus the space of the god-awful commercial-grade Crayola-colored exterior cladding.
If it's a Gerhy, it's approximate ((x*1.3)/(y*1.3/1.6))1.5.

what is the typical office depth for highrise office?
Anyone knows the typical office depth for highrise office in US? Is it around 40'? Is this number getting smaller in Europe?
This is for a competition. Thanks for the help.
this is an odd question - are you a student?
40'-42'.
40'-42'.
40' is reasonable... and yes, lease spans are typically more shallow in europe
toasteroven: don't fool yourself. Even an architect without highrise experience don't know it for sure.

...as in 4200 sf? that probably is typical for an american home...with closets larger than my apartment.......
elinor, the average nyc apartment is only 420 sf or the equivalent of one walk-in closet (+/- 420 sf) in a typical american single family house.
crazy...haha...so 42 really is the magic number!
;)
sorry - didn't understand your question - seems like elinor and letdown did, though...
obviously I don't know anything either.

The issue becomes moot once you line up the entire perimeter with executives' offices.
