Telephone Booth Project for a Commercial Company in Chicago, USA

This project is located in the central business district of Chicago, USA. The client is a large commercial services firm with a workforce exceeding 500 employees. The company’s existing open-plan office space had gradually begun to reveal issues regarding noise interference and a lack of privacy.

Employees engage daily in extensive telephone communication, video conferencing, client consultations, and cross-departmental collaboration. The background noise inherent in an open office environment not only hindered communication efficiency but also diminished employee concentration and overall work experience.

Solution

Following a comprehensive assessment, the client decided to deploy multiple modular, soundproof phone booths throughout the office area to meet employees’ daily needs for phone calls, online meetings, and focused work.

Single-Person Phone Booths

Ideal for:

• Online meetings (Zoom, Teams, etc.)
• Client phone calls
• Individual focused work
• Private business discussions

Product Features:

• High-performance soundproof wall structure
• Double-glazed soundproof door
• Silent fresh-air circulation system
• LED lighting system
• Power outlets and USB ports
• Integrated work desk with ergonomic design

Modern office phone booths have emerged as a vital supplementary space for addressing privacy and noise issues within open-plan environments, offering rapid deployment without the need for structural construction work.

Project Implementation

The entire project utilized a modular installation approach; the process—from delivery to full operational use—took only a few days and was completed without disrupting the company’s normal business operations.

The phone booths were strategically positioned in the following areas:

• Along the perimeter of the open office area
• Near team collaboration zones
• Adjacent to communal lounge areas
• On floors with concentrated clusters of conference rooms

Employees can access and utilize the booths whenever needed, without the requirement for advance booking.

Since being put into service, the client has observed significant improvements:

• Substantial enhancement in video conferencing quality
• Reduction in noise-related complaints within the open office area
• Optimized utilization of conference rooms
• Increased time spent on focused, uninterrupted work
• Elevated overall employee satisfaction with the office environment
