Worked example
Imagine a consultant whose camera frames a frequently used doorway and a bright window, distracting both the worker and callers.
Rotate the desk toward a quiet wall, then check the camera frame and face lighting. Keep the doorway route open and avoid placing a lamp where it reflects in the screen.
How to test it
Record a short call test in daylight and after dark.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Group booths near shared circulation but set their doors off the direct path to desks.
- Detail
- Provide a shelf, hook, fan or air path, and a light that does not cast a hard shadow on the caller.
- Trade-off
- More booths improve call access while taking away flexible team area.
- Try a full-length call with the door closed
- Check door swing against passing traffic
