DIY Phone Booth

Space Design Phone & meeting rooms
1

Hey everyone,

We have an open plan coworking office, and the number one thing I get asked for (and also the number one reason prospective members don’t join) is for a place to take calls. We have a conference room, but it’s on the other side of the building and people don’t really like to walk all the way over. What we do have is a 75 sq ft storage area that we dont use. It’s not completely walled off (it has a door but no ceiling so it just opens up into the coworking area) and I’ve been wondering if there’s a good DIY way to build a little phone booth in it so that people can take calls without the rest of the office hearing them. Has anyone done a project like that?

2

Can you share some pictures of the storage area? It will help us come up with ideas.
Also - is there electrical in the room already?

Hi Jensen,
Our architects recommended this stand-alone product: http://www.buzzispace.com/products/buzzibooth

It’s made of an acoustical material and supposedly works great. We haven’t tried it yet and based on some quick searches, it seems pretty pricey (around $7k - $8k each?).

I’d be curious to know if anyone has tried a Buzzibooth or similar product. Seems like a great solution though.

Cool to see the Buzzibooth - without having ever seen it, we built something very similar ourselves!

We made them extra wide, too, so that if two people can stand next to each other comfortably on a Google Hangout call or something like it. They’re just enough to keep most noise made on a call contained to the hood…and keep out enough of the nearby room noise, too…without feeling like you’re trapped in a closet or dredging up memories of cubicles.

One of our members is an architect, and she came up with the plans to re-use some of our old larger Ikea desks for this hooded standing desk area - https://www.dropbox.com/sc/5cky4t35qouqhyh/AAAAV4xRsCAeVWtBEKVYPcmXa

Our friends at a local fablab were able to cut the end pieces (the big pieces of heavy duty ply) to her design - and we only needed to manufacture those pieces. Everything else is the larger ~3’ wide Ikea desks. We added some acoustic foam, table top lamps, power plugs, and ran ethernet into each booth to help people making internet-based calls have a stable internet connection.

1 year later I can say that they get used SO much more than the other options we’ve had!

Alex, that booth looks like EXACTLY what we need. I’m trying to figure out the design, though, what’s that U shaped area behind the hood?

The U-shaped area serves 2 purposes:

1 - The booth is near one of our windows, and the “slot” keeps the big hood from blocking out a lot of valuable sunlight.

2 - it creates some space between the two hoods so sound is less likely to travel between the two areas that are back to back. Not soundproofing by any means, but avoiding the “my hotel had paper thin walls so I could hear EVERYTHING next door” effect.

I can share plans, but the exact dimensions are based on a custom install that we did so I’m not sure how helpful they’d be.

We split an 8ft x 4ft closet into 2 phone rooms with glass doors. They’re not sound-proof by any stretch of the imagination but people like them. Each has a small desk, chair and lamp. They get used most often for conference calls on skype or hangouts. Cost was $1,000 for the carpentry.

We did something similar to Angel. We built a T-shaped wall with 2 doors to subdivide part of a small room. We added soundproofing the wall between the 2 phone rooms. Later we found out how much sound is transferred by the other plaster walls, so we added a foam insulation (Airkrete) as soundproofing to the wall shared with the adjacent meeting room. The rooms get used quite a bit and even with the glass doors, it works ok.

We were lucky that the space we are using already had phone booths built in - our space used to be a resource centre.

We had to re-build the wall that was between, but just a little decoration made it all seem kind of homey.

Kinda cute, and with a white noise system in place it will help immensely with more privacy throughout our space.

Alex,

Is your phone just that without anything behind it? People talk into the enclosure of phone and I’m guessing that dampens it enough not to be private but for the sound to be dimmed enough not to disturb overs.

We enclosed an entryway that we weren’t using by building a wall. It’s not soundproof by any means but it gives people enough privacy.

Yep, exactly. I wouldn’t usually record a podcast there (though I have), but it’s perfect for phone & Skype calls.

I love appreciate the simplicity. If you have any plans laying around I would love to make it happen but if not I can get a good idea from the pictures.

I attached the designs for the end pieces, though again, they’re designed specifically to fit on top of a rail that was already built and in place.

We are looking for fully enclosed phone booths that can be moved around. We found some interesting models on Alibaba for $1300 + $875 for shipping that we really like. It costs me about $1750 to hire a contractor come out and build a few walls with a door so it’s comparable to that.

Link to one of the Alibaba products: https://wholesaler.alibaba.com/product-detail/2016-custom-office-phone-booth-as_60418372557.html

I would love to have something made in the US. It doesn’t need to be made completely soundproof like the ones that are $5000 from Framery. I think there could be a market for a $2000 or less model that is 80% soundproof that gives the person privacy but blocks enough noise that doesn’t disturb others.

If anyone has any plans I would love to have one made? If you have an industrial designer in your space that would be interested in this product then I would love to chat with them.

Hi Craig, did you ever order one of these? Wondering how they are.

Hey Ryan,

Yes, I did order a phone booth off of Alibaba. After all expenses of shipping, tarrifs, fees, etc. it costs under $3000. This is overall a good deal.

Here is the real thing:

They look good. They look like a knock-off of Framry. You would be proud to have them in the space but it doesn’t have the perfect touches of a $8000 phone booth. Sound performance needs to be improved. I am going to order one from the manufacturer that I listed above with the hard edges versus the rounded ones.

If anyone wants to go in together on a bulk around they costs a total of $2700 to get them to Denver, plus about $500 for shipping to your location.

Damn, even if it looks good, $3k is a lot to spend on something that “needs sound performance improvements.”

Can you say more about what it needs?

Hey Ryan,

Yes, I did order a phone booth off of Alibaba. After all expenses of shipping, tarrifs, fees, etc. it costs under $3000. This is overall a good deal.

This product is no longer available.

I’ve heard that even the expensive ones aren’t really sound proof but do
the job
