Elements of Community Based Design
The Possibilities of Privacy
Would it surprise you to learn that having a variety of workspaces ranks more highly than having a private office?
Steelcase research shows privacy is the #1 employee need today in the office. But privacy is not just about being alone. And a one-size-fits-all approach does not work.
What kind of privacy do you need? Visual? Acoustic? Territorial? Or informational? Addressing these diverse needs requires a holistic solution beyond individual workstations or traditional conference rooms and enclaves. Fully enclosed, shielded, and even open spaces can offer a range of privacy for individuals and teamwork. Having access to the privacy they need makes them a lot happier and more productive at work.

Focus and Control
Noise and lack of speech privacy can lead to distraction in the open office. Our system supports different zones, allowing you to control the level of sound masking based on the size and function of different areas within your office. Sound masking helps people focus and find relief from noisy distractions. The volume is easy to control, and can also facilitate paging and music.
