The Axel-Springer-Neubau construction’s out-of-the-ordinary architectural design represents the future of working in a digital publishing house. With 10,000 m² of floorspace, the building has a total of 13 floors and offers space for around 3500 employees. Draughted by Rem Koolhaas (OMA), this new build project provides the most modern of office and conference spaces, not to mention restaurants, TV studios and a newsroom for the WELT news channel, plus a number of meeting spaces which promote spontaneous communication and informal exchanges between colleagues.

Working alongside Knight Frank’s PM and Cost teams, AEI Spaces designed a striking new London HQ for global IT and software development company, Globant.Located within the Zig Zag Building on Victoria Street SW1, this complex project utilised a variety of doors to achieve differing acoustic requirements, utilising both curved and faceted partition glass.The design required an open, transparent partition and door system alongside high performing acoustics. A variety of doors feature on the project from the ST40 sliding door (Rw37dB) to the double glazed AR64 door (Rw40dB) in both single and double doorsets. These were paired with single glazed System 3400 mullion free partitions (Rw40dB) which in some areas featured switchable glass to give this global IT and development company the privacy they required within the context of a striking design.Our design team worked closely with Knight Frank to ensure we captured the aesthetic required for the project. Close coordination with main contractor, Parkeray, was necessary from our project team to ensure a seamless installation on this complex project.

A project driven by high acoustic insulation requirements. System 3500 was chosen to achieve Rw 47dB with AR100 Rw 44dB doors guaranteeing privacy.A curved, 40dB, glazed wall with double door set separated the open office from the vast canteen and breakout area. System 3400 and close cordination with other trades created a clean high performance partition.

KKS architects designed a unique interior with timber slats replacing traditional glazing manifestation. SRP designed and installed the timber elements, creating a bespoke mounting system to integrate seamlessly with the system floor and head tracks. Further bespoke elements were created for the door.To complete the effect, lighting tracks were integrated into the partition system to illuminate the slats.KKS chose a champagne colour anodised finish for the reception space and a dark bronze finish for the office floors. The end result is a stunning interior with clean, simple lines disguising the complex construction.System 3500 with Rw 44dB doors provide ultimate acoustic isolation. Timber doors on office floors achieve Rw 43dB

Callison RTKL created a beautiful, understated, clean interior using System 3400 with sliding doors to shape the space. The design required on an open, transparent partition and door system yet high performance acoustics. The ST40 door with Rw 40dB partition met these design criteria and allowed wide, open entrances to offices whilst giving the privacy required by a top management consultant.The client team selected SRP during a competitive mockup. SRP constructed three offices for client and architect review. We had an independent acoustian on hand to verify the performance of the installed products with our acoustic sliding door achieving Dw 36dB.Our design team worked with Callison RTKL to develop the details and drawing pack. Close cordination with all contractors ensured a flawless installation.

The design, by KBK Architects, enables countless forms of communication and at the same time providing discreet retreats.All-glass walls and flush structural glazing walls were used in the office area, with black profiles and high-end wall panelling. Large-format all-glass sliding doors and solid door elements provide a communicative, discreet atmosphere.The versatility and the modular nature of the System 2300 can also be seen in the laboratories, where balustrade walls provide a structure for the rooms.The result is a modern, varied office landscape which connects all the required office types, from the research and laboratory area up to the elegant director’s office, in a very special way.

A unique building with a cutting edge timber structure required a unique partitioning system. System T was chosen to bring traditional, sustainable timber and the acoustic performance of modern partition systems.SRP worked hard to match the CLT boards used in the buildings structure.The office crosswalls are constructed from System 2000 solids panels planned around a 1500mm grid to facilitate future change.

An intelligent approach to co-working environments with a flexible product at the core of the design. System 2000 glazed fronts and solid cross walls allow tenant spaces to be reconfigured to suit client requirements.Minimal components and speed of install mean a space can be remodelled much quicker than drywall with changes often taking place over a weekend. With each change, the cost saving over drywall increases significantly.

Strähle Raum-Systeme redesigned their own office implementing a new vision of the future office. Staff health, well being, efficiency and comfort were at the centre of the design. By creating smaller working groups and using the acoustic properties of System 7400 to control the flow of sound, the office is a relaxing, efficient and safe space to work in.In the post Covid-19 world, the physical barrier of the system assists in controlling virus spread yet does not impact on the visual openness of the space. Surfaces are easy to clean and individual work areas have helped staff psycologically when returning to work.Kubus pods have also been installed to give areas requiring greater privacy.At the BAU 2019 exhibition, the office was awarded the DGNB Interiors Certificate. The certificate for interiors combines all relevant aspects of sustainable development of interiors. Health, comfort and well-being are basic human needs. The DGNB certificate for interiors focuses on these needs, thereby creating the basis for long-term commercial success

As a consequence of the relocation of Vodafone’s German headquarters, 5,000 employees have now got the potential for mobile working. The open and carefully planned office environment of the campus achieves both a formal and casual interaction between the employees.Every department has its own home base, reducing inter-personnel distances, enhancing teamwork within the team. The design of the workplaces and of the communication areas are tailored to the specific tasks of each department ranging from workstations to diverse team areas to open lounges. Aside from typical workstations, the campus features an additional 3,200 alternative workspaces in the open areas, the libraries, café bars and think tanks.The project principles and architectural team selected System MTS and System 2300 for the meeting and conference areas which equated to 2,000 linear metres and 450 doors. 214 Kubus II were built in the open-space areas.
