The office design was handed over to Aco Design, an architectural studio known for its creative and comprehensive approach. The studio concept was to make the office bright, welcoming, simple, and functional. Their goal was also not to “overdesign” the office, but rather to make it look like a comfy workplace, not a fancy coffee shop or an overly enthusiastic playground. Another objective was to create optimal acoustic conditions in an open-plan space, where most of the team members work (and most ideas are born).

The design team used 50 of our Block panels, which are very effective sound absorbers, and placed them throughout the space, including on office furniture that surround workstations. Placing acoustic solutions as close as possible to noise sources helped effectively mitigate the overall noise level experienced by employees working in the open space.

A very common distraction in open-plan offices, especially now that hybrid work models have become more common, are phone or video conversations that are taking place right next to other working colleagues. That’s why Hexe chose our acoustic pod, Jetson, to help keep distractions at a minimum.

Our brand-new office pod was located in the middle of the space so everyone could reach it conveniently. What’s more, this one-person phone booth provided a comfy place for making a call or video chatting with a client. With 27 dB sound attenuation, Jetson ensures that the shared spaces are not disturbed and, at the same time, pod users’ private conversations remain private.
