Create space for focused work in a busy office

Five practical solutions for concentration workplaces

Each office has different spaces that are designed for specific tasks: meeting, collaborating, consulting, meeting or concentrating. When furnishing offices, most attention is often paid to meeting, collaborating, consulting and meeting. This is reinforced by the rise of hybrid working. But “concentrated work” in the office also deserves serious attention. There are times when, as an employee, you want to be able to retire for a while to be able to work on a certain task undisturbed.

Fortunately, there are many solutions available that make “concentrated work” possible in a busy office environment. We have listed five of them for you.

‍

1 - Place call cells in the office

Place one or more bell cells in your office. They ensure that a caller can make a quiet phone call without being bothered by ambient noise. They also ensure that the caller's colleagues can also continue to work in peace and quiet. What's more, a phone call in a call booth gives you more privacy. Bell cells are available in many shapes and sizes.

2 - Meeting Cubicles in the office garden

By placing Meeting Cubicles, short meetings no longer have to take place in the middle of the open office garden. That is then possible in a beautiful acoustic cabin. This way, you prevent others from getting out of concentration or being disturbed by your short consultation. The cubicles have glass doors and walls. This way, you can immediately see if the space is free. The glass walls fit into any office.

3 - Give a choice with flexible workplaces

By creating a number of flexible workplaces in your office, your employees can choose a nice place to work themselves. Their fixed workplace is probably not the most ideal place for every task. Sometimes it's nice to have some noise around you, but sometimes you'd rather not. Flexible workplaces are not only useful for employees who want to temporarily change their own workspace for something else. They can be used in various ways, such as a place to work together on a project or for a short meeting.

4 - Acoustic partitions and desk panels

Placing acoustic partitions in strategic locations in the office helps you to concentrate better. With an acoustic partition, you not only create a good distribution of space: you can also improve the acoustics in the office in no time. By making the partition or room divider mobile, you can also easily move them if the situation requires it!

Acoustic desk panels are also a perfect way to improve focused work. For example, do you often accidentally look directly into the eyes of the colleague opposite you? Place an acoustic desk panel between them with the correct height and the distractions are immediately gone. Of course, this also applies to the left and right beside you. Suitable acoustic panels can be found in the right color or with a suitable print for every office interior.

5 - Acoustic furniture; two birds with one stone

By applying acoustic furniture upholstery to your existing furniture, you create peace of mind in the workplace. And the improvement of the acoustics hardly takes up any space. This includes, for example, a filing cabinet at your workplace with a unique print or plain fabric and acoustic damping. It is also possible to install furniture made of itself from acoustic panels. Thanks to the acoustic damping, you get a quiet place where you can work in a concentrated way

It is important to provide different types of workplaces in the office for various tasks such as collaboration, consultation, meetings and concentration.
