Some say that's disturbance, I call it collaborating.
Sure, just keep your collaboration out of my concentration. That is, "Alice and Bob collaborating" may just be keeping Joe from getting any work done. It's easy to lose track of the effect of your collaboration in any open environment. Doing it in an office with a closed door eliminates that problem.
I'm not a code monkey. I don't sit alone in an office all day hammering out code.
Having an office does not in any way imply that you're supposed to "sit alone in an office all day hammering out code".
