Re: [Coworking] Re: Seeking recommendations for glass walls/offices

No, they typically cannot be reconfigured by managers or admins; you need a
trained installer.  The cost you cite is very exaggerated over drywall.
Yes, the initial expense is considerably higher than drywall, but if you
also factor in construction time + office downtime, the cost is more like
3X, not 10X.  And, if you reconfigure two or three times, you've already
recouped any cost difference. What must also be factored in is the cost of
building systems.  Data and electrical are typically plug-and-play, and
lighting can usually be reconfigured by the electrician on the installation
team.  The biggest problems I've seen is the incorporation of sprinkler
heads and code compliance for spacing, and the edition of air supply and
returns, based on local code requirements.

Right...but are these demountable walls, like by DIRTT, actually feasible to 
re-arrange easily by community managers or administrative types? And while they 
can be paid as furniture, their cost is something like 10x (?) more than 
traditional drywall.

[Maureen Soules]

While a more expensive initial investment, I'd seriously consider a product 
like DIRTT.  Several reasons: First, the product can be depreciated like 
furniture, installation (including electrical work) can happen over a 
weekend or after hours with almost no downtime or disruption to your 
business, and it can be reused and reconfigured as the needs of your office 
space evolve.

Re: [Coworking] Re: Seeking recommendations for glass walls/offices

[Jeannine van der Linden]

I would like to second this.  We have glass fronts on the small meeting 
rooms in Amsterdam, primarily for architectural reasons -- Dutch canal 
houses (which is what the Amsterdam location is in) tend to the narrow and 
deep, and get their light and ventilation from one side only. The fishbowl 
effect is therefore magnified.  

Entertainingly, local code requires either partial glass walls, frosted 
glass, or stickers on the glass to avoid people walking into them.  :-)

I appreciate everyone weighing in with the different options (and
downsides) related to the glass-walled offices. I am now reconsidering my
original plan.

Thank you!

I agree x100…if it’s glass all the way around.
I’ve been using glass on just one wall and the feedback has been excellent. I 
also use partial height, either lower or upper half.
Basically, use them judiciously - your wallet will thank you as well

Re: [Coworking] Re: Seeking recommendations for glass walls/offices

[Alex Hillman]

I'm gonna toss a perspective in here that hasn't been mentioned:

Glass walls *can* look amazing, though I hear from a lot of people that
they hate feeling like they're in a fishbowl. I personally think it's a
weird architectural hack for trying to bend office-demand into a
misunderstood open aesthetic. But that's a longer debate, and for another
day.

The bigger issue is that glass walls turn small rooms into *awful* echo
monsters. Yes, you can temper it with acoustic treatment, but that's yet
another expense on top of the glass. Especially when the goal is to create
spaces for phone calls, I'd be doing everything imaginable to get rid of
echo'y surfaces.

Fundamentally, floor to ceiling glass is one of those style trends that I
see doing more damage than good. Maybe an unpopular opinion? I'm not sure.
I know we ruled them out as a usability concern very early in our
renovation.

-Alex

[Coworking] Re: Seeking recommendations for glass walls/offices

Tempered glass gets very expensive, Ask for store-front type glass with 
aluminum frame around it, it would be a quarter of the tempered glass price.

I'd suggest finding a local makerspace nearby and having them price and do it. 
Then it becomes more human than just a glass wall. If you run the options by 
your members, $4K (or $10K) for a 2-person quality phone booth built by 
localMakerspace that goes inThisSpot or $4K or ($10K) for _ over time, 
what do they choose. (They probably want lots of things.)

I looked at glass walls (and other walls) and personally it isn't a project I 
will lead, but if members ever want to lead, I could assist, and would share 
any leads from here.

I've never sourced glass walls/offices but I'd be curious to know if you 
*really* need the expensive glass option or if you could build out with 
drywall but splurge on nice glass doors? This way you save some money, can 
have power on the walls and still get lots of light flowing in and out.

Lauren, we were able to find some used, originally manufactured by DIRTT. 
They were about $2K/office used, but I think that's close to 10 - 20% of 
what they'd be new. You might check your favorite, well-supported used 
supplier. These were a bear to put up, but they look gorgeous finished. (If 
you were closer, there's about 85 linear feet left, with 2 glass barn 
doors, 9' tall.)
