We blend full-timer desks with flex desks - the full-timers are not segmented to a corner, rather in the middle of the open space. We have closed offices upstairs which I eventually hope to open them up to more collaborative space and creative meeting spaces. For now, the upstairs helps pay the rent. But even the office dwellers interact with the community. It's really about the culture of community and collaboration that doesn't necessarily stop due to desk plans/size or even offices - they never close their doors. We do offer our perm desk coworkers a small filing cabinet/drawers.
We have odd sized desks in our space now as well. Some sit at the small 3 x 3 desks, others the medium desks and still others gravitate to the large corporate style desks. Variety is good but we still strive to not make the space look too much like a office depot.
