It seems like the choice is not only personal, but can change day to day or even hour to hour. Sometimes you need to lock down your privacy, other times you want to be approachable and make sure you're passively consuming information flow. In that light almost no offices are getting it close to right - they all force a certain paradigm on workers. Working from home from time to time offers a little flexibility but that's it. I'm not sure what my perfect office would look like, but it would definitely be one where I could pick different work contexts. More practically speaking, a private office with a big glass door is probably close. When shut, people can see I'm there, but can also see I'm busy. When open, the large frame of the door makes me feel connect to the rest of the office.
