You'd be surprised. Somehow we actually lost 2 desks after going open and our personal workspaces shrunk to about half.

The architect insisted on 8ft aisles and cramming in so many completely unused "collaboration" spaces we couldn't get enough desks in.

We soon filled the collaboration spaces with desks. The large isles though help put people farther apart so it’s slightly harder to here conversations of people nearby.
