Open Space Office Planning: How to make open spaces calmer, clearer and more usable
Planning an open-plan office is significantly more complex than many floor plans initially suggest. In an open space, different work styles converge directly: spontaneous meetings, teamwork, video calls, client discussions, focused individual work, and sensitive topics. This is both the strength and the greatest risk of an open-plan office. Without a clear structure, openness can quickly turn into constant distraction. Conversations spill over across the room, periods of focus are repeatedly interrupted, and employees are forced to retreat to hallways or empty corners for sensitive phone calls.
Good open-plan office planning therefore requires more than just desks, walkways, and meeting rooms. Crucially, quiet and interaction shouldn't interfere with each other, but rather be deliberately separated. Conversations, calls, video conferences, and confidential meetings need suitable spaces in the open office. HUUS One and HUUS Call create compact retreats for individuals, while HUUS Meet accommodates small meetings, one-on-one sessions, and hybrid conversations directly within the open space. This keeps the open space open while simultaneously providing the structure that truly simplifies daily operations.

How speakers lower the ambient noise level in an open space
In an open-plan office, conversations quickly accumulate into a constant background noise. A single call hardly makes a difference. However, multiple phone calls, short meetings, and ongoing video calls simultaneously alter the overall perception of the space. Therefore, an open-plan office often improves not through elaborate rules, but by relocating typical communication situations to a more suitable location.
When conversations consistently take place in cubicles, the general noise level in the room drops noticeably. This affects not only individual workstations but the entire space. In everyday practice, this means above all that speech becomes significantly less prominent in an open-plan office and is much less likely to be a disruptive factor.
This effect is particularly valuable in an open-plan office because even small improvements in the amount of speech can noticeably increase the concentration of the entire team.
The safe space effect in the open office
Open spaces promote exchange, but at the same time also create a certain amount of social pressure. Many employees feel observed during sensitive or private phone calls. Even when no one is actively listening, there is often a feeling of not having a truly protected space for confidential topics. This applies to HR conversations as well as customer calls, personal appointments, or brief, sensitive discussions.
This is where the important psychological benefit of booths comes in. They create a protected space in the open office. Anyone making a phone call or discussing something confidential doesn't have to do so within sight and earshot of the entire area. This structure reduces mental strain and makes the workday noticeably more pleasant.
Booths are therefore not only intended for quiet, but also for privacy and discretion.
Greater autonomy through better open space planning
Top-Rated Ergonomics
Plug-and-play instead of classic conversion
In open-plan office design, flexibility is a clear advantage. Not every company wants to put up walls, reroute power and network connections, or completely remodel entire areas just to create additional quiet spaces. This is where the box system demonstrates its practical advantage.
The boxes are already equipped with integrated infrastructure. Depending on the model, this includes power, USB, and Ethernet ports, lighting, automatic ventilation, and, in larger solutions, additional options for monitor and camera setups. This creates a plug-and-play principle: set it up, connect it, and use it. This is particularly valuable in open-plan offices because new quiet spaces can be created without compromising the open structure.
Modern use: Availability and quick orientation
In open-plan offices, the ease of accessing quiet spaces in daily work is also crucial. If employees have to search extensively or it's unclear whether a cubicle is available, the barrier to access increases. Therefore, in modern workspaces, it's becoming increasingly important that quiet spaces are clearly visible, easily identifiable, and intuitively usable.
The more accessible and seamlessly integrated a cubicle is into the workspace, the more it eases the burden on daily work. For open-plan design, this means specifically: cubicles should not be hidden or randomly placed, but rather positioned so that their use is quickly apparent and straightforward.
Which HUUS Box is suitable for which open-space situation?
For individual phone calls, video calls, and short focus sessions, HUUS One and HUUS Call are particularly useful. Both are designed for one person and offer sit-stand functionality, ventilation, lighting, and direct connections. HUUS Call is more geared towards high-quality conversations, design, and privacy.
As soon as conversations require more space, HUUS Meet is a valuable addition to the open space. The booth is designed for up to four people and is suitable for team meetings, one-on-one conversations, or hybrid meetings. This is especially important in open-plan offices, because otherwise smaller meetings quickly either spill over into other activities or unnecessarily block large meeting rooms.
Open Space Office Planning: Openness Needs Structure
Good open-plan office planning doesn't simply create more space, but rather better conditions for different types of work. Open areas remain important for exchange, spontaneous collaboration, and team dynamics. At the same time, the space needs targeted counterpoints for quiet, privacy, and professional digital communication.
This is where the strength of HUUS Boxes lies. They more clearly separate quiet and interaction, reduce the ambient noise level, create protected spaces for sensitive conversations, increase autonomy in daily work, and bring plug-and-play infrastructure directly into the workspace. In this way, an open-plan office doesn't become a constant compromise, but a work environment that truly functions in everyday practice.

FAQ zur Open Space Büroplanung
Was ist bei der Planung eines Open Space Büros besonders wichtig?
Ein Open Space sollte nicht nur offen, sondern klar strukturiert sein. Entscheidend ist, dass Teamarbeit, konzentriertes Arbeiten, Telefonate und vertrauliche Gespräche jeweils passende Bereiche bekommen. So entstehen weniger Nutzungskonflikte auf derselben Fläche.
Wie lassen sich Ruhe und Zusammenarbeit im Open Space miteinander verbinden?
Durch eine bewusste Zonierung. Kommunikative Bereiche können näher an Besprechungs- und Telefonboxen liegen, während ruhigere Arbeitsplätze stärker geschützt werden. So bleibt die Fläche offen, ohne dass jede Tätigkeit überall stattfinden muss.
Wo sollten Telefonboxen in einem offenen Büro stehen?
Am besten dort, wo regelmäßig Calls und Videokonferenzen entstehen. Die Boxen sollten schnell erreichbar und gut sichtbar sein, ohne zentrale Laufwege zu blockieren. Je einfacher der Zugang, desto eher werden Gespräche tatsächlich aus dem offenen Arbeitsbereich verlagert.
Warum sind Rückzugsorte im Open Space notwendig?
Nicht jede Tätigkeit eignet sich für eine offene Umgebung. Telefonate, vertrauliche Gespräche oder konzentrierte Arbeitsphasen brauchen häufig mehr Ruhe und Privatsphäre. Rückzugsorte schaffen diese Wahlmöglichkeit, ohne den gesamten Grundriss in Einzelräume aufzuteilen.
Welche HUUS Box eignet sich für Einzelcalls im Open Space?
HUUS One und HUUS Call sind für jeweils eine Person ausgelegt. Sie eignen sich für Telefonate, Videocalls und Fokuszeiten. Die HUUS Call ist innerhalb des Sortiments als Premium-Telefonbox positioniert.
Welche Lösung eignet sich für kleine Meetings im Open Space?
Für Besprechungen mit mehreren Personen sind HUUS Four oder HUUS Meet geeigneter. Die HUUS Meet bietet Platz für bis zu vier Personen und ist für kleinere Team-Meetings, 1:1s und hybride Gespräche konzipiert.
Wie können Boxen ruhigere Zonen im Open Space unterstützen?
Boxen übernehmen nicht nur einzelne Gespräche, sondern können auch bei der räumlichen Strukturierung helfen. Werden sie gezielt zwischen kommunikativeren und ruhigeren Bereichen eingeplant, entstehen klarere Funktionszonen innerhalb der offenen Fläche.
Wie schafft man Privatsphäre in einem offenen Büro?
Privatsphäre entsteht durch separate, abgeschirmte Bereiche für sensible Gespräche. Telefon- und Meetingboxen bieten dafür einen klar definierten Rückzugsort und sind besonders für Kunden-, HR- oder vertrauliche interne Gespräche sinnvoll.
Welche technische Infrastruktur brauchen Rückzugsboxen im Open Space?
Für HUUS Boxen wird ein geeigneter Stromanschluss benötigt. Beleuchtung und aktive Belüftung sind in die Box integriert. Je nach Modell stehen zusätzlich Strom-, USB- und Netzwerkanschlüsse sowie bei Meetinglösungen Optionen für Monitor und Videokonferenztechnik zur Verfügung.
Muss ein Open Space für zusätzliche Rückzugsorte umgebaut werden?
Nicht zwingend. Raum-in-Raum-Lösungen können innerhalb bestehender Büroflächen eingesetzt werden und schaffen zusätzliche Fokus- und Besprechungsbereiche, ohne dass dafür feste neue Räume gebaut werden müssen.
Wie verhindert man, dass Rückzugsboxen im Alltag kaum genutzt werden?
Sie sollten sichtbar, leicht erreichbar und eindeutig für bestimmte Nutzungen vorgesehen sein. Wenn Mitarbeitende sofort erkennen, wo ein Call, ein vertrauliches Gespräch oder eine kurze Fokusphase stattfinden kann, wird die Nutzung schneller zur Routine.
Welche Mischung aus offenen Flächen und Boxen ist sinnvoll?
Das hängt von Teamstruktur und Nutzung ab. Ein Büro mit vielen Einzelcalls benötigt eher mehrere Telefonboxen, während Teams mit häufigen kleinen Besprechungen zusätzlich Meetingboxen brauchen. Sinnvoll ist eine Mischung, die sich an den tatsächlich wiederkehrenden Arbeitssituationen orientiert.
