I don't know - it is certanly also a cultural issue, but in my part of the world (Adriatic region), offices are traditionally made separate for most "intellectual" (as opposite of physical) jobs, unless needs demand otherwise. | |

There are exceptions, but this is a principle which works remarkably well. Walls provide noise dumping (also, which hasn't been considered - walls can be insulated for a LOT better noise dumping - I know a lot on this, and take my word for now, investing in a good isolation can do wonders for the happyness of people working).

I'm still not sure whether we mean the same thing, but what I was trying to say is that "having doors is always better".
