Are the two really opposed? At my job, we have an open floor plan and a couple of closed rooms where people go for conversations, talking on the phone, etc. Seems to work fine, although I don't have much of a gauge to measure by.

We tend to call those "meetings" rather than "conversations".

What if two people need to work together on a computer and they only have desktops. The commom-area closed room doesn't do them any good.

The common-area closed room should have a desktop computer in it.
