Mexico. If a huddle room is in a public area or is open to the rest of the office, you'll want to invest in a variety of acoustic elements to ensure that private conversations remain private and those working nearby aren't bothered by the noise level of enthusiastic teamwork.
While some manufacturers of prefabricated structures for micro-rooms include sound insulation materials on the walls of the capsule, it may not be enough to keep sound levels under control. Fortunately, there are many things you can do to help absorb sound in a Huddle Room.
Some of the suggestions made by the Mexican company Multimedia for huddle rooms include:
- Adding acoustic panels to walls, partitions and backs of whiteboards
- Hang a variety of paintings in space
- Strategically adding fake or real plants
- Choose soft furniture, densely upholstered sofas instead of hard surfaces that bounce off sound
- Use a curtain or mobile screen to create a door
- Installation of ceiling deflectors
