We are worried that the houses contribute to isolation almost too much.  But they are designed to have teams roll them into circles so the windows line up, but not directly.  So your line of site to the left and right is clear of distraction, but merely leaning forward let's you speak with team members on either side.  Trying to find that right balance between instant collaboration and total isolation.  :)<p>We also can park a table with chairs in the middle of the circle and since every house has a 4x8 whiteboard on the front, you have a whiteboard lined conference room for the project team that is about 8 steps away from your chair.
