I've thought for a while that conference rooms with desks would work pretty well. Though it definitely depends on your team. Wouldn't need to go grab a room e

  One of the best collaborative environments I've ever had was a repurposed conference room; the three of us, all in our early 20s, two devs and a consultant who did what we would now call the "product owner" and some of the coding, had the small space to ourselves. It was off in a corner of the building, so nobody would "drop in while passing" either. We called it the "war room", after Dr Strangelove. It was a huge success and we got a complex product built in a few months. Unfortunately that was 2001 and the client went bankrupt without ever paying the invoice and we were all made redundant over the next few months.

    My company still does this when something really needs to be done. Several people who are working on the project in one room with full focus. But weirdly as soon as it's done the team gets dispersed into the cube farm and the headsets go back on.

  My first programming job back at Corp hq (not client site) was like this : three people in a room with an external window, a door and private cubes. It was great for morale and productivity. That was 20 years ago.
