I would like to know how to translate, from Portuguese into English, the term "baia" in the following context:

Thank you in advance for your invaluable assistance!!

Note from asker:
Both work and cubicle are correct, but I will chose workspace because it is more generic. Thank you very much to both answerers and to all those who offered their contribution!!! |

Cubicle
If it's actually a "box" type of workspace, then it's called a "cubicle."
