Sounds like we’re talking about vastly different sizes of company, or vastly different levels of bureaucracy. If a company wouldn’t seat together people who need to collaborate, I don’t think the choice of office plan is the most important problem to solve.

So, you have 15 people who try to work. And 5 people sitting close together, who are loudly collaborating around a white board.

You do realise that these people will disrupt the work of the 15 people around them?

That's what daily life is in an open office.
