I think this is an attractive way of working. The biggest difficulty is that
everyone needs to be signed up for it to work effectively.
It is vital to have private rooms for one-to-one meetings or to work for
those times when you really want silence.
I am an SpR doing research at present and am in a communal office in a Trust
that is supporting hot desking (or whatever it is called - when you can sit
at any computer in the Trust to work). As a new concept for me I find I have
adapted OK to it. It does rely on filing everything electronically and have
reliable printers at every workstation.
