(1–2 people | ~2–4 m² | ~20–40 sq ft)
Teams: Focus Room
Zoom: Phone Booth / Focus Room
Google: Personal / Focus Space

Focus rooms exist for moments that matter: confidential calls, one‑to‑one conversations, and deep individual work. These spaces are small, but the expectations placed on them are high—especially by remote participants who rely entirely on what the room can capture.

Equity-first design considerations:

Ultra‑wide field‑of‑view cameras to ensure faces aren’t cropped at close distances

Thoughtful acoustic treatment to avoid the “echo box” effect common in booths

Correct screen height and camera alignment to maintain natural eye contact

Equity challenge: If a focus room only works for the person inside it, the meeting has already failed.

(3–6 people | ~8–15 m² | ~85–160 sq ft)
Teams: Small Room
Zoom: Huddle Room
Google: Small Room

Small rooms are the backbone of modern offices—quick stand‑ups, agile reviews, and hybrid catch‑ups happen here every day. These rooms are often over‑utilised and under‑designed.

Equity-first design considerations:

Wide‑angle cameras that capture everyone around the table, not just those nearest the screen

Audio pickup that favours voices equally, not proximity to a single microphone

Displays sized for readability by both seated and standing participants

Beyond the bundle: We look past manufacturer kits to assess room proportions, table design, the impact of lighting, and how people can join and leave meetings without being a technician.

(6–10 people | ~15–30 m² | ~160–320 sq ft)
Teams: Medium Room
Zoom: Medium Conference Room
Google: Medium Room

Medium rooms are where hybrid inequity most often shows up. As participant numbers grow, so does the risk that remote attendees become observers rather than contributors.

Equity-first design considerations:

Cameras with intelligent framing or even multi‑camera approaches to avoid “end‑of‑table bias”

Microphone coverage that supports natural conversation from any seat

Display sizing and placement that allows shared content and remote participants to coexist

Design mindset: These rooms require balance—between technology, acoustics, furniture layout, and sightlines—to ensure no one seat is the ‘worst seat in the room’.

(10–20 people | ~30–50 m² | ~320–540 sq ft)
Teams: Large Room
Zoom: Large Conference Room
Google: Large Room

Large rooms are rarely single‑purpose. They host leadership meetings, client presentations, and hybrid town‑hall‑style sessions—often switching use cases daily.

Equity-first design considerations:

Ceiling or distributed microphones to support flexible seating and movement

Multi‑camera strategies to capture both speakers and room context

Multiple displays to prevent remote participants being visually sidelined

Planning beyond hardware: We assess room adaptability, acoustic control, and how confidently a facilitator can manage both in‑room and remote audiences.

(20+ people | 50+ m² | 540+ sq ft)
Teams: Extra‑Large Room / Multipurpose Space
Zoom: Training Room / Multipurpose Room
Google: Large / Training Space

These spaces carry the greatest equity risk—and the greatest opportunity. Without careful design, remote attendees become anonymous tiles. With the right strategy, they become active participants.

Equity-first design considerations:

Professional audio architectures with ceiling microphones and an impactful, even sounding speaker setup are vital to ensure consistency

Presenter‑tracking and audience‑aware camera systems

Scalable layouts that support workshops, training, and broadcast‑style meetings, and when not in formal use, become effective breakout or social spaces

Our approach: We design these rooms as systems, not setups—where technology, room geometry, and human behaviour are planned together.
