so we are 15 but will soon 2-3x in the next 2 years. also have a mix of hardware and software people with sales, ops and marketing.

shoji screens are interesting but don't have much in terms of noise cancellation.

we are currently thinking precisely as you mentioned - private areas with central collaboration pits or areas. the value thing sounds interesting - will check it out.

Yeah, shoji screens won't do much for noise, but maybe there are ones designed to cancel noise? I'm sure an office acoustic expert could place acoustic foam in strategic spots and really quiet the place.
