Open plan offices suck. Why people are finally waking up to it (telegraph.co.uk)

My company's solution - small teams of 4 to 6 people, each cluster separated from everyone else by 5 foot walls with whiteboards on them. Our development style is pretty collaborative, so we benefit from having teammates nearby to bounce ideas off of, but it isn't as siloed off as an individual office. Helps with sound, too.

I also really dislike being alone in an office, though.
