Depending on roles, it can make sense to do the following: - have reservable floating offices and various sized-conference rooms w/ doors - some dedicated offices w/ doors - some open layout for pair coding, but not exclusively - some casual multipurpose hangout/couch meeting/work/relax areas - remote work from home, coffee-shop, beach, mountain top, etc. - perhaps an discreet workspace indicator (web + IoT physical) that says (perhaps using color codes): - out for the day - out temporarily - free to socialize (which auto-suggests people to chat with in this state) - working - do not disturb, unless it's an emergency This way, there's more choice and people can self-select some common-sense and have enough variety to not get stuck in open floor-plan, panacea, audio-visual-social distraction hell.
