How to Create Perfect Private Spaces in an Open Office:
To have a perfect private space in your open space, you need to identify the types of private spaces you can have in your office.
One-Person Private Space: Usually known as a phone booth due to what it is used for, it is a place to receive or place a personal phone call. The outline can be relatively small given that the acoustics are tremendous. These spaces are for general use but not to be occupied for a long period. Your staff will definitely love this. Take note of basic safety codes while designing the space.
The One or Two Person Space: These are private spaces meant for two people at a maximum. Such spaces are meant to allow one or two people focus on an assignment that can be disturbed in the open office. You can enhance it with an audio or video conference call capability. You might also need to equip such space with small workplace and a charging point to connect a PC or a personal gadget.
