Room systems from woodtec support customers in consolidating office space
vetroCUBE uses the centre zone for face-to-face meetings, silentWORK enables virtual meetings at the workplace
Employees still like to use their home office to work from there one to three days a week. The home office, but also absences due to holidays, illness and travelling, lead to vacancies in the office. Employers are called upon to react. On the one hand, vacant office space is in no way economical, on the other hand it is not conducive to communication and creativity. Employees who are on the premises should at least be able to sit together and interact with each other as easily as possible.
The agile office offers solutions. Workstations are no longer assigned personally but can be booked immediately. The centre zone is used for communication. Most of the space on the façade is reserved for workstations. The office space is open-plan. A large number of spatially and acoustically different zones offer specialised workstation areas that employees can access "on demand". This creates retreat areas that ensure that employees, once they are in the building, can also work together communicatively and creatively.
The acoustically high-quality room systems from woodtec support such arrangements. The vetroCUBE room-in-room system, available in almost any size and design, provides excellent ventilation and very good sound insulation for popular and intensively used retreat areas in the middle zone. Face-to-face meetings are possible on an ad hoc basis without disturbing the concentration of other colleagues. The silentWORK acoustic screen complements the multizone, the workstation area, and provides particularly good acoustic shielding for individual workstations. silentWORK offers employees an ideal environment for virtual meetings and also integrates colleagues in the home office into the communication process. The silentUNIT acoustic system separates acoustically incompatible areas. This means that the kitchenette and breakout zones, for example, can be well shielded without any structural interventions. At the same time, the screens are so transparent that visual relationships are maintained. woodtec supports the planner with these systems. They can realize the required and necessary spatial diversity not only in terms of design, but also acoustically.
This intensive utilisation of newly designed areas frees up other areas completely. The entrepreneur can decide whether to shut them down and keep them in reserve or market them. Here, in the case of our customer, the pilot area is being used by different departments on a revolving basis and will therefore certainly deliver reliable results in the near future. If these are positive, as we expect, a building will be completely remodelled as a result. Vacant space will then be marketed for this purpose.
