Acoustic panels are no longer a rarity in "open-plan" offices. Work, like our everyday life, has become much more dynamic, so for quite some time now, "open-type" offices have taken over office buildings that were once filled with cubicles. Why include them in interior design? Read in our prepared article!
"Open-plan" offices have their advantages
One large room in which several employees work - its work is carried out in countless offices. In such an environment:
- teamwork is encouraged; - employees are often friendlier, because they have to communicate more with each other; - you don't have to waste time going to a colleague from office to office.
But there's one problem with this good co-op idea!
When planning the arrangement of the new office, company managers often forget about a significant drawback of the "open-type" office - the high noise level.
When working in a large team - in one open space, noise is an inevitable problem, and if you want to save money on acoustic solutions, leaving the fight with noise to the employees, they have to deal with it the best way they can - spending most of the day with headphones and phone conversations, running away from the office. This creates the exact opposite effect of what an open, creative co-working space should be.
Office hum and sounds become a problem if you allow them to travel long distances throughout the office:
- a ringing telephone; - printer; - ventilation hiss; - operation of the coffee machine
together with the conversations of a large number of colleagues and the sounds of autumn runny noses create a rather impressive noise cocktail.
