1-2 Person Pods: A Buying Guide for Soundproof Office Booths

1-2 Person Pods

1-2 person pods are enclosed, soundproof office booths sized for solo focus work or two-person meetings, ranging from under 13 square feet up to roughly 30 square feet. ROOM's Phone Booth covers the 1-person use case while the Room S covers 1-2 person configurations. Below, we break down dimensions, acoustic ratings, ventilation, and pricing for every 1-2 person booth option, so you can match the right booth to the right headcount before you buy.

Most office meetings only involve one or two people, yet most floor plans still default to full-size conference rooms for private calls and quick 1:1s. That mismatch is exactly what 1-2 person pods solve so facility managers and office designers can go from "how much floor space do I need for one or two people" straight to a purchase decision.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• What counts as a 1-2 person pod
• Capacity, footprint, sound rating, and price side by side
• Phone booth dimensions and standard features
• Modular room configurations for focus and small team meetings
• Open acoustic lounge options for informal breakout areas

Comparing 1-2 Person Pod Options

Finding the right pod requires balancing physical footprint with your team's day-to-day workflow. The comparison table below breaks down capacity, floor space, sound isolation ratings, and starting prices across ROOM’s 1-2 person lineup to help you evaluate spatial fit before purchasing.
 

What Counts as a 1-2 Person Pod?

A 1-2 person pod is a compact, soundproof modular booth designed for solo focus work, private calls, or two-person meetings. Sized between 13-30 square feet, these pods deliver full speech privacy in a fraction of the floor space required by a traditional drywall huddle room.

• 1-person focus booths: Sized strictly for single-occupant use, such as confidential phone calls, video meetings, and deep solo work (represented by the Phone Booth and Room S Focus Room).
• 1-2 person meeting pods: Designed with dual seating and shared work surfaces for 1:1 syncs, private interviews, and collaborative video calls (represented by the Room S Meeting Room).
• All configurations integrate directly into open floor plans without requiring building permits, HVAC tie-ins, or structural alterations.
  
   

What Are the Dimensions of the Phone Booths?

ROOM's standard 1 person phone booth measures 7'5" high x 3'5" wide x 3'7" deep, for a footprint of under 13 square feet. That's small enough to fit into an open-plan corner without displacing a desk, while still giving one occupant a fully enclosed space for a call or focused work. Standard features include:

• A built-in desk and magnetic board
• Two ultra-quiet ventilation fans with a motion sensor that activates fans and LED lighting automatically
• Two power outlets and a built-in Ethernet port
• 1.6" of sound insulation made from recycled PET and natural felt

The ROOM x Carolina Phone Booth shares the same 1-person footprint but uses performance materials rated for healthcare settings and high-traffic environments.

What Are the Dimensions of the Room S Series?

The Room S series is ROOM's small-format modular pod and the backbone of its 1-2 person office booths lineup. All three configurations share a footprint of 47.25" x 90.6". The Room S is available in three distinct spatial setups:

• Frame: An unfinished shell for custom space planning
• Focus Room: A single-person private office with a height-adjustable desk and custom credenza
• Meeting Room: The 2-person configuration, with a custom workstation and optional video-conference add-on.

Every Room S configuration reduces noise by 31 dB and includes roof-mounted ventilation fans with interior air inlets, recessed ambient lighting, skylights, and an occupancy motion sensor, the same acoustic and air-handling specs whether you're outfitting it for one person or two.

What Are the Dimensions of the Solo Acoustic Lounge?

The Solo Acoustic Lounge is ROOM's smallest 1-person option outside the enclosed Phone Booth line - an open, sound-absorbing lounge chair rather than a fully enclosed pod. It's built around 59-inch-high acoustic privacy panels that shield the seated occupant from sightlines and ambient noise on three sides, with:

• Sound-absorbing custom polyester fabric with acoustic insulation
• A soft-touch side table that fits up to a 16" laptop
• 1 AC outlet plus 1 USB-C and 1 USB-A port (25W combined)
• Solid oak legs
