Perhaps a full open office can actually be good for connectedness and transparency, but the catch is it requires every team member to be very socially attuned.

Perhaps a full open office can actually be good for connectedness and transparency, but the catch is it requires every team member to be very socially attuned. Not to distract someone who is clearly not going to be happy distracted from work unless it's really important, but also be receptive and not angry when someone wants to ask you questions and they couldn't catch you when you were idle. Since this is unrealistic, hybrid wfh or individual offices with enough common shared spaces probably next best.
