A faster, more flexible way to add privacy to your workplace
When your workplace needs more privacy, construction is not your only option.
A private phone booth, focus room, or small meeting space may sound simple—until the scope starts to grow. What begins as a need for one enclosed space can quickly become an architectural and construction project involving permits, trades, inspections, materials, schedules, and disruption throughout the office.
Thinkspace offers a different path: purpose-built office booths and pods that create the privacy your team needs without turning a workplace improvement into a full build-out.
The true cost of building a booth
Building a private room into an existing office is more than framing four walls and adding a door. Depending on the space and local requirements, a traditional build-out can involve:
- Architectural fees and drawings
- General contractor and general-conditions fees
- Construction, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, and sprinkler permits
- Fire, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and final inspections
- Metal studs, sheetrock, finishing, paint, and carpet
- Sound-attenuation insulation
- Electrical conduit, outlets, lighting, and switches
- Mechanical ductwork and diffusers
- Ceiling grid and tile
- Acoustic glass doors, storefront systems, and door hardware
- Furniture and technology
Every trade adds coordination. Every permit adds time. Every inspection introduces another step before the space is ready for your team.
And while the work is underway, your office is still operating around it.
Privacy without the construction project
Thinkspace pods are designed to create dedicated spaces for calls, focused work, collaboration, and meetings—without asking you to rebuild part of your office to make it happen.
Instead of committing to permanent walls, you can select a solution sized for the way your people actually work:
- Individual booths for private calls and focused tasks
- Enclosed pods for one-on-one conversations and small meetings
- Semi-private solutions that create separation while keeping the workplace open
- Flexible options from Hushfree, Bene, and PARCS
The result is a more useful workplace without the extended timeline and complexity of a conventional construction project.
Move faster
Construction schedules can stretch across weeks or months. A Thinkspace pod can be installed and ready to use in as little as a day.
For teams facing an immediate privacy need, selected in-stock pods ship from our Chicago warehouse within seven days. That means you can respond to how your team works now—not after a lengthy build-out process is complete.
Build for today. Stay flexible for tomorrow.
A built-in room stays where it is. A Thinkspace booth can move with your workplace.
As your headcount changes, teams shift, or your office footprint evolves, pods give you more flexibility than permanent construction. They can be repositioned, reconfigured, or brought along to a new location—helping your investment continue to serve the business as needs change.
Because pods are furnishings rather than permanent architectural improvements, they may also be treated differently for accounting and depreciation purposes. Your finance team or tax advisor can help determine the appropriate treatment for your organization.
Skip the build. Choose the booth.
Your office does not need a major construction project to become more private, productive, and adaptable.
Thinkspace makes it easier to add the spaces your team needs now—without the permits, coordination, inspections, and disruption that come with building them from scratch.
