Maximizing Every Square Foot: How Carvana Transformed Dead Space into a High-Functioning Privacy Pod

About Carvana

Carvana is one of the largest online used car retailers in the US, with a distributed workforce that moves fast. Their office teams handle everything from customer operations to internal strategy, meaning the ability to have quick, confidential conversations is not a nice-to-have. It’s a daily operational need.

The Challenge: Privacy in an Open Floor Plan

For Amir and the Carvana team, the open floor plan that made collaboration easy had a real downside: there was nowhere to go for a private call or a sensitive 1-on-1. And because reconfiguring the building was not an option due to space constraints, the problem had no obvious fix.

The team was stuck with two compounding issues:

Fixed Infrastructure: Walls could not be moved and rooms could not be added. Any solution had to work within the existing footprint.
No Acoustic Separation: Without a dedicated space, important calls and confidential conversations had to happen in the open, creating real risk for both focus and privacy.

The Solution: The Tuesday+ Booth

Rather than pursue a costly renovation with no clear timeline, Carvana chose the Bureau Tuesday+. The booth provided a room-within-a-room feel without touching a single wall, and it fit directly into a corner that had previously been used for storage.

Here is why the Tuesday+ was the right call for Carvana’s specific situation:

It fit where nothing else would. The Tuesday+ was compact enough to slide into an underutilized area without disrupting the surrounding open floor plan. The team kept the collaboration-friendly layout they valued while gaining the private space they needed.
No contractor required. The booth needed only a standard 110V outlet to become fully operational. No electrician, no construction crew, no waiting. The team was up and running the same day it was delivered.
Built for real office life. The Tuesday+ is made from durable, cleanable materials and was available in a color scheme that matched Carvana’s existing office aesthetic, so it looked intentional rather than an afterthought.
Flexible for whatever comes next. Unlike a built-in room, the Tuesday+ can be relocated if the team moves or outgrows the space. It is an asset, not a fixture.

The Results: A Former Storage Corner Becomes the Most Useful Spot in the Office

Before the Tuesday+, a corner of the Carvana office sat unused as storage. Today, that same footprint is one of the most-used spots in the building. Key personnel now have a dedicated space for sensitive calls and focused meetings, and the team has not had to sacrifice any of the open-plan collaboration they were built around.

Beyond solving the speech privacy problem, the Tuesday+ delivered on the two things Carvana needed most: speed and value.

Fastest timeline on the market. Shipping, delivery, and setup were faster than any competing option Carvana evaluated. From order to operational, the process was seamless.
Fair pricing without compromise. Bureau’s pricing held up against competitors without requiring Carvana to trade off on quality, speed, or fit.
Dead space eliminated. What was once a storage area is now a functional, professional workspace that serves the team every day.

In Their Words

“The new office pod proved to be the ideal solution for both space and privacy. Installation was remarkably seamless. The unit fit perfectly and was truly plug-and-play. The pod has been instrumental in addressing our privacy needs, granting key personnel the opportunity to hold important, uninterrupted meetings and calls. I would definitely recommend Bureau to others. Not only was their pricing fair compared to competitors, but they also offered the fastest overall timeline. I highly recommend them.” — Amir Ahmed, Carvana

FAQ’s

How long does it take to install a Bureau privacy booth?

The setup was completed in a single day. The Tuesday+ requires no construction or dedicated wiring, so installation is as simple as placing the unit and plugging it into a standard 110V outlet.

What power does the Tuesday+ require?

In North America, the Tuesday+ runs on a standard 110V outlet, the same connection used by most household and office appliances. No electrician or special wiring is needed.

Can a privacy booth work in an open floor plan without disrupting the layout?

Yes. The Tuesday+ was designed specifically for open-plan offices. Its compact footprint means it can be placed in a corner or against a wall without taking over the floor. Carvana’s team kept their collaborative setup intact while gaining a fully private space.

What if we move offices or need to reconfigure our space?

The Tuesday+ is freestanding and moveable. Unlike a built-in room or permanent partition, it can be relocated within your office or taken with you if you move. It is an investment that travels with your team.

Is the Tuesday+ suitable for sensitive or confidential conversations?

Yes. The booth provides acoustic separation from the surrounding office, making it appropriate for HR conversations, leadership calls, client discussions, and any meeting that requires discretion.

The Takeaway

Carvana did not knock down a single wall to solve their privacy problem. They identified a corner that was being wasted and made it one of the most functional spots in the building, in a single day, without a renovation budget.

If your team is working around a layout that was not designed for modern office life, you do not have to wait for a remodel to fix it.
