On: Poll: What's your preferred work environment? (private/shared office, openspace)

An office of about five employees seems optimal to me, normal office desks - no cubicles for people to hide in. Ringing phones need to be kept to a minimum for development though, as they are too distracting.

Yea 'Peopleware' also found that small offices with 3-4 people to be optimal.
