Genuine question: Wouldn't this require a lot of ventilation / HVAC infrastructure?

It seems like in order to get 'really quiet' you need to have solid, noise-insulating walls on all 6 sides, which then makes it harder to ventilate (i.e., each cube gets it's own ductwork)

That said - I also like quiet spaces and if I was looking for a co-working space something that's mostly small, cozy, and quiet cubes would be perfect :)

Probably, the rooms get stuffy fairly quickly. I've seen videos of private work booths in Japan that appear well-ventilated so it's possible but no idea about cost effectiveness.

If anyone wants this idea, you can even use the old WeWork signs, just flip the W upside down and change it to MeWork
