Co-working auditorium benefits from flexible space

Co-working auditorium benefits from flexible space

Style have provided their Variflex moveable wall for Paddington Works, an exclusive office space in central London.

The Variflex range offers adaptability to suit almost any location and includes a wide choice of panel sizes and finishes, parking arrangements, as well as acoustic performance ratings.

Style worked with architects, Threefold Architecture and contractor, Space Paddington, to increase the adaptability of the auditorium by installing a partitioning wall to divide the area during gatherings, talks, presentations and events.

The manually operated Variflex moveable wall quickly closes off the auditorium to allow privacy for events, as members continue to work undisturbed in the surrounding areas thanks to its 57dB Rw acoustic integrity.

Facing into the auditorium the yellow Camira Blazer fabric finish complements the vibrant soft furnishings, whilst the other side is in white melamine to maintain a light, open atmosphere.

Julian Sargent, Style's Group Managing Director said: “This is a great example of how a relatively straightforward acoustic, manual moveable wall installation can revolutionise how space is used.”

“When the wall is open, the stepped auditorium is a visible and integral part of the building design and can be used as a casual space where members can gather together for informal brainstorming sessions or simply to relax."

“During events it can be quickly closed off so that they can be run in privacy and allow those not involved to continue with their work without being interrupted.
