Aside from being horrible and costing you employees open spaces make no economical sense at all. Open space requires 60-110 ft^2 (5.5-10 m^2) per person [1] Let's assume that with offices you'd need 150 ft^2 (14^m) - that's including extra corridor space etc - a whooping 90 ft^2 (8.4 m^2) extra. Let's assume that open space costs you just 10% of productivity (studies show that it's more than that [2], [3]). I bet that just 10% of the salary alone is more than rent on 90 ft^2 for majority of employees..
