It's not a binary thing! you can shut the door when you need to concentrate and open it when you want to be sociable. That's how it was in my last job and it worked great. Currently I'm in an open-plan office that's hot and noisy, so I work from home in the mornings when I do work that requires concentration and then I go into the office in the afternoon for easier work and chatting.
