Santander HQ, Triton Square

The problem: In creating a productive and comfortable environment for Santander’s 200,000 square-foot, seven level HQ, Resonics took on the challenge of addressing acoustic challenges in a large open-plan layout with various functional areas. As a leading banking institution, Santander requires an office environment conducive to focus, confidentiality, and effective communication—all of which can be compromised by poor acoustics.

Our solution

Open-Plan Office Space

To address the acoustic needs of the open-plan office layout, Autex Groove wall planes were installed across the space, providing a lightweight and flexible sound absorption solution that reduces noise transmission between workstations. The angular, router-cut designs on the panels added depth and texture to the walls, combining functional acoustics with visual appeal.

Additionally, Autex Frontier Fins were suspended from the ceiling to create a targeted acoustic treatment for the expansive space. The Frontier Fins allowed for tailored sound absorption directly overhead, which helped to mitigate ambient noise in this high-traffic area. The modular design of Frontier Fins also offered the flexibility to mix colours and configurations, enhancing the open-plan office’s visual aesthetic while establishing an environment where staff can focus with minimal auditory distractions.

Meeting Rooms

For meeting rooms where privacy and focus are crucial, Autex Groove wall panels were installed to reduce sound reverberation and external noise bleed. The panels provide an effective and cost-efficient way to ensure conversations stay contained within each room, fostering confidentiality and concentration.

Circulation Spaces and Break Areas

Autex Frontier Axis were used in both circulation spaces and staff break areas, delivering targeted acoustic control. Their ability to absorb sound in high-traffic spaces prevented noise from spilling into the surrounding office areas.

In addition, Autex Horizon Triangle ceiling rafts were suspended within the baffle system to create a dynamic floating visual while absorbing excess noise. This innovative design solution elevated the aesthetic of the break spaces, creating a calming environment for staff to recharge without disturbing the rest of the office.
