Adaptable Workspace for a New Way of Working

VINCI Energies, a part of VINCI Group and a leader in energy transition and digital transformation wanted to refurbish the Frankfurt office. As an organization that relies on its team members’ creativity, initiative, and passion, the company’s goal was to attract young talent by offering a workspace with a level of comfort and style unmatched even at home. The company recognized that the office must reflect its team’s diverse needs and personalities. Therefore, the space was designed to adapt to different daily tasks and work styles.

Mute Modular: The Perfect Fit

The firm considered many solutions, but Mute Modular was a perfect fit. After consulting with the Atelier of Architecture and Nienhaus Bürocenter, VINCI Energies decided to implement 7 Mute Modular units consisting of 9 different zones for meetings, collaborative work, and secluded spaces for solo work.

All configurations were created by architects specifically for the project with the pCon configurator, allowing the designers to optimize the space for the client’s team needs. It was especially crucial because Mute Modular rooms are the only conference space in the office. As a company dedicated to sustainability, VINCI Energies decided to limit the use of traditional drywall partitions to the minimum.

5 Shades of Beautiful Office

In addition to its technical advantages—such as high acoustic performance, high-class configurable, and fully adjustable lighting—one of the key reasons VINCI Energies chose Mute’s adaptable room-in-room system was its stylish design. 

Equally important was Mute Modular’s broad color palette. The company wanted to break the monotony of uniform office colors and create a vibrant space that reflected the company’s diversity. The architect selected five colors—Ink Blue, Clay Red, Sage Green, Sand Beige, and Ash Grey—and designed the surrounding areas in complementary tones.

Each color evokes a different mood and feelings. For example, bold and bright Clay Red energizes, while calmer, balanced tones like Ink Blue and Sand Beige boost productivity by making focus and concentration easier. On top of that, each area is named after one city where VINCI Energies operates.

Adaptable and Designed for Change

What sets Mute Modular apart is its ability to reconfigure units whenever needed, whether a company needs an office renovation or to move buildings. Thanks to precisely manufactured wall modules and a unique click-in system, VINCI Energies can create various configurations without significant investment and new materials—an ideal feature for eco-conscious businesses that are always ready to change.
