"Flexible working" was the Ministry of Defence (UK)'s solution for overcrowding while I was working there. Result? People just worked at the same desk anyway. The junior people (ie me) had to move around a lot to fill in gaps when someone was absent. This looks to be quite a different approach. Lots of little corners that you can tuck yourself away in. I'm not sure I'd like to work in that environment though. A big desktop monitor is useful, and working with a laptop actually on your lap is really uncomfortable. I'd imagine that if I was in that environment I'd either stick to a proper desk all the time or find that I wasn't really getting much actual work done while I lounged on a sofa.
