Back-to-back positioning (pods on opposite sides of a shared wall, doors facing away from each other) is acoustically acceptable and space-efficient — the pods’ acoustic isolation applies to each pod independently. Door-to-door positioning (pods facing each other with doors opening toward the same space) requires adequate combined clearance for both doors to open simultaneously. Allow a minimum of 180 cm between the two pod door faces to enable independent use without the door swings conflicting.
