Need tips on creating a non-cubicle work area

[abbynormal]

Looking to create a more interesting workspace in the offices we will soon be occupying. Rather than settle for the same old cubicle environment, I had though that building some short (6'-7') diagonal walls in from the outside walls would give each person a quasi-office while leaving the room open and allowing everyone to connect without noise spilling into other workspaces.

 

Then again, I'm terrible at layout. Really, I need to get 8-12 desks in the large room within 1 year (5 for now, adding people over the next 12 months).

 

 

 

I am very grateful (and so will my employees if they don't have to work in cubicles any more) for any ideas anyone might have. I've attached our layout PDF and put some notes in there.
