I agree with Jacob too. At Collective Agency we have a big loft room with various areas (all open and connected, but various areas feel different), a kitchen, an entry lounge and 6 conference rooms. In the middle of the big loft room, we have the radio classic music on from 9am to after lunch, then radio jazz until 4pm, then classical from 4 to 5pm, then off. Other music is done when requested or changed by a member, which is pretty rare, and we keep it at a very specific volume to encourage conversation. We have birds chirping on the skylights now and then which causes us to laugh in surprise. Conversations happen more when music is at a specific volume. The fan is on which creates a sound most people like. This all meets the strongest desires that the most members have expressed, and supports our community values: productive work, cozy workplace, community, socializing, inspiration, friendships.
