Modern offices are embracing the open-plan approach, but the demand for private spaces and seclusion zones remains as strong as ever, with style and function key considerations for forward-thinking Australian businesses.
Phonebooths – whether used for solo study, private phone calls, small meetings or confidential group conversations – are an essential ingredient to maximise workflow without requiring massive overheads or a major shift to the office footprint.
“Phonebooths are essential for creating sound-managed private spaces in open-plan offices, but we are even seeing a need for them now in healthcare spaces,” says Hayley Kidd, our head of marketing. “Properly placed, they can enhance workflow by offering on-demand privacy without the need for constructing permanent walls.”
Our booths have been designed to meet a variety of privacy needs, prioritising acoustic integrity, aesthetic quality and ergonomic effectiveness. The SpacePod (available in single, two-person and four-person configurations) is sleek and futuristic, with high-quality sound insulation that guarantees echo-free audio for meetings and voice calls. The Qzone series, however, is an independent, one-person privacy booth ideal for calls and private work. Both can be quickly built, configured and placed in your office space for immediate use.
“Strategic placement of these pods can make them appear as natural extensions of the workspace rather than obtrusive elements, sometimes even serving as design focal points,” says Hayley.
When designing with pods, consider locations where they can serve as meeting points, as a natural interruption between spaces, or as an inconspicuous retreat from the rest of the office. Maximise the visual impact by selecting finishes and detailing that accentuates your office’s existing design theme.
