We’re designing an open-plan office. Is there a standard formula for figuring out how many phone booths or focus pods we should install?
There's no universal rule, but a common industry starting point is one office phone booth for every 10-12 employees in an open-plan setting. More important than a fixed ratio is to analyze your team's needs:
- How many people are on calls or need deep focus daily?
- What's the size and layout of your floor plan?
- Start with a couple and monitor usage—long wait times mean you need more.
It's better to start slightly under and add more as needed.
