BUILT SPACES

 

digital component construction

digital component construction: combining proven construction methods with next-generation technology to build beautiful, high-performing environments that are both cleanable and cost-effective. using less material, reducing emissions in manufacturing and freight, and virtually eliminating waste onsite, this method of construction is a smarter design and only requires a fraction of the schedule that traditional construction methods require.

the simple, efficient functionality of digital component construction offers built-in flexibility that responds to the constant rhythm of business change. with a large selection of aesthetic choices, you can move beyond permanent drywall solutions and rigid space planning to create flexible workspaces that are ready to reconfigure and walls that are easy to relocate for whatever change the future brings.

 

acoustics

in built environments where interaction and collaboration take place frequently, acoustics play an important role in user comfort. sound-absorbing products can be implemented to reduce reverberation in these spaces and create more pleasant sound environments for users. acoustic products come in many different forms, sizes, and shapes, and can often be combined in endless configurations to create the visual and acoustic effect you need.

acoustic solutions can take the form of vertical screens or room dividers, three-dimensional wall art, ceiling clouds and light fixtures, and even furniture. the materials composing these products can range from fabric and felt to stone wool and colorful dried moss, and are often sustainably sourced. acoustic solutions can be seen as functional art that reduces sound reverberation while simultaneously adding visual interest to an interior space.

 

technology

the thoughtful implementation of technology systems in the workplace offers users a number of benefits. a large component of workplace technology is centered around enhancing the audio/visual components within office meeting spaces, such as conference rooms. introducing an improved a/v system can increase both the frequency and ease of collaboration. a few of these technology systems geared towards a comprehensive a/v solution include control system managing, video conferencing, and local wireless presentation.

technology also has the power to mask unwanted sound within an interior space. by introducing ambient background sound, the perception of loud noises can be eliminated. sound masking systems are especially effective in workplace environments where conversations being held in one area may interfere with the heads-down work of employees in an adjacent area.

 

shades

shade systems have the power to enhance occupant health and well-being as well as help achieve higher building efficiency. in terms of user comfort, window treatments can block solar glare, diffuse sunlight, provide privacy, and filter out harmful UV rays. shade systems can also improve acoustics in spaces with higher noise levels like collaborative workplaces.

installing shade systems contributes to achieving a sustainable building design, which offers the benefits of lowered operation costs, points towards LEED certification, and most importantly, a healthier relationship with the environment. utilizing window treatments can help minimize heat gain by reducing the amount of sunlight that enters the interior of the building. if equipped with sensor technology, wireless daylight sensors monitor external conditions to mitigate glare while occupancy sensors monitor the room occupancy state to encourage energy conservation.
