Dealing with noise in open-plan workspaces is a challenge, but there are solutions. Plants, like Ficus elastica (Rubber Plant) and Dracaena marginata, can help absorb sound, making them perfect for lively office environments. Beyond aesthetics, materials like sound-absorbing carpets and acoustic panels can further reduce disruptions. As architects and designers, our role goes beyond the physical; we shape behavior through space planning and thoughtful design choices.
