Optimizing open space with acoustic pods

Design solutions for an efficient working environment

Did you know that 70% of modern offices adopt an open space configuration? Although it encourages collaboration, this layout can lead to distractions and reduced productivity due to ambient noise. A study conducted by the American multinational Steelcase found that 73% of employees are dissatisfied with the level of acoustic privacy in their working environment.

How can the need for open space be balanced with the need for concentration?

The intelligent organization of open spaces

Open plan offices are designed to promote collaboration and communication between different teams. However, this configuration can lead to distractions due to noise and lack of privacy, negatively affecting productivity. According to the ISO 22955 standard on the acoustic quality of open office spaces, it is essential to consider acoustic treatment, room geometry and layout to ensure a comfortable environment.
To solve this issue intelligently, many companies are integrating acoustic office pods into their open spaces. These self-contained structures provide an acoustically isolated environment, ideal for meetings, calls or activities that require concentration. Acoustic pods improve the organization of open-plan spaces, offering dedicated areas that reduce noise and increase productivity.

The benefits of acoustic pods in offices

• Noise reduction. Acoustic pods provide effective insulation, reducing sound distractions.
• Increased privacy. They provide private space for sensitive calls or meetings.
• Flexibility. They can be easily installed and moved according to the needs of the office.
• Modern design. They contribute to a contemporary and professional aesthetic.

An excellent example of these solutions is VetroIN’s INPOD line. These modular acoustic box enclosures are designed to create acoustically protected private spaces within open spaces.
