What I’ve realized is that you actually need more space in an open setting. You will need a lot of rooms and furniture specifically placed and designed for ad-hoc collaboration. An open space with just desks crammed in is awful, but if the above is catered for it’s awesome and I don’t want to work any other way. It takes a lot of room and smart planning though. Previous place we had a bunch of teams in mobs in an open space with just enough ad-hoc rooms and furniture made up of sound-dampeners. Great experience.
