The brief
A design consultancy wanting an open floor for the culture and quiet for the actual work — the usual contradiction.
The hard part
A live floor. The team kept working through the build, so everything happened across four weekend phases.
What we did about it
Acoustic ceiling before anything decorative
The budget went up into the ceiling rather than out onto the walls. Nobody photographs it and everybody notices it.
Four small call rooms, not two big ones
Meetings here are two people and a laptop. Sizing for that freed the floor.
Planting as the only partition
It divides sightlines without dividing air, and it survived a fit-out with no budget left for screens.
