Canary Wharf: An Automatic Divide

Canary Wharf: An Automatic Divide

Partitioning experts Style have installed DORMA’s Moveo ComfortDrive movable wall system for the Boston Consulting Group.

At its Knowledge and Analytics centre in London’s Canary Wharf, Style worked with main contractors, Bluu Solutions, and architects, Create Interior Design, to design and install a moveable wall solution to add flexibility to the main meeting room.

The stretched fabric-finished panels slide effortlessly into place at the press of a button, rapidly creating a solid divide with exceptional 55dB acoustics for privacy between the two areas of the office.

The Moveo system is available in almost any conceivable finish from laminate through to polished wood veneers. Additional features include acoustic sound absorption boards, magnetic display boards, dry wipe marker and projection surfaces, plus single or double inset pass doors can be included for ease of access.

“We’re seeing a significant growth in specifications for fully automatic partitioning walls,” comments Julian Sargent, Style’s group managing director. “The speed and flexibility they deliver allows the room configuration to be quickly changed, numerous times a day if required.”

Comfortdrive automation is computer controlled, giving users confidence that all seals will automatically extend or retract to the appropriate point, through each stage of the operating cycle, avoiding potential damage caused by mishandling of the panels. A network of sophisticated sensors ensure instant response if an obstacle is encountered.

Style is the sole UK distributor for the DORMA range of moveable walls, all of which have an environmental product declaration (EPD) in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804.
