Contemplate / Work Pod

Studies show you learn better lying down while you work better sitting up. They also shows these activities are best accomplished in private repose. Work is most productively discussed face to face however. An open plan office with micro-pod workstations is therefore ideal. The double-decker micro-pods shown below have 40 sq ft footprints.

From an historical perspective, by the way, one might point out that the return of the open plan office with its own couches and relaxed, living room like feel recapitulates the architectural features of the classical Greek symposium, while private micro-pods mitigate against panopticon modern society.
