British Land, London
The problem: British Land, one of the UK’s most prominent property development companies, wanted to elevate their co-working sub-brand, Storey, by creating high-performance office spaces.
Our solution
Resonics collaborated with Thirdway to supply and install bespoke acoustic solutions that improve both form and function.
Framework Ceiling Grid
At the heart of the design is a custom Framework ceiling grid by Acoufelt, installed by Resonics. Crafted from Acoufelt’s signature FilaSorb acoustic felt, this 12mm raft system features 700mm squares with curved corners. The grid integrates seamlessly with the lighting fixtures and complements the neutral color palette of the space with its elegant ‘Umber’ finish.
Positioned above a key focus area, the Framework grid provides more than visual appeal—it significantly improves the acoustic environment, ensuring conversations and collaboration flow effortlessly without the distractions of excess noise.
QuietForm Wall and Ceiling Panels
In the meeting spaces, Resonics installed QuietForm pressed acoustic panels in both wall and ceiling applications. These panels, featuring Acoufelt’s striking ‘Celestial’ pattern, were selected in a range of earthy tones, including ‘Pistachio,’ ‘Walnut,’ ‘Umber,’ and ‘Ivory.’
- Main Meeting Room: The ceiling installation serves as a focal point, combining eye-catching design with acoustic functionality, ensuring clarity during large meetings.
- Smaller Meeting Rooms: Panels were installed behind AV equipment and as standalone wall features to enhance both aesthetics and sound quality.
Soft dB Sound Masking System
To further enhance the acoustic environment, Resonics installed a cutting-edge Soft dB sound masking system with 12 speakers and controllers. This system was strategically integrated to provide background sound that reduces distractions, improves speech privacy, and fosters productivity across open work areas. The sound masking solution was carefully calibrated to blend seamlessly with the office’s acoustic design, offering a subtle yet impactful improvement to the workspace’s acoustic experience.
The Outcome
The completed Storey offices showcase the power of thoughtful design and high-quality materials in creating work environments that balance functionality, sustainability, and aesthetics.
The combination of bespoke acoustic solutions and sound masking technology has transformed the spaces into hubs of productivity and well-being, making them ideal for the needs of modern professionals.
