Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer

How do phone booths or focus pods factor into a desk space plan?

Phone booths (small, enclosed single-person pods) should be part of any open-plan desk space plan — they're the solution to the biggest complaint about open offices: lack of privacy for calls and focused work. A planning rule of thumb: one phone booth for every 8–10 open-plan desk users. Place them at the perimeter of the open floor plan (not in the middle) so occupants aren't creating a traffic obstruction. Keep them close to desk clusters — if they're too far away, people won't use them.
