Yes — precisely because of this preference. The preference for home on focused work days is driven by the acoustic advantage home typically provides over the open-plan office: near-silence for individual tasks. When the office provides equivalent or better acoustic conditions through certified enclosed pods (DS,A = 29.4 dB, ISO 23351-1), this preference reverses: the office can offer focused work quality comparable to or better than home, combined with the collaboration, social connection, and professional infrastructure that home cannot provide. The investment in acoustic focus infrastructure is the investment that removes the acoustic reason to stay home.
