Workshop is the largest and most successful tabletop ‘fantasy
battle game’ company in world, designing and manufacturing miniature
character soldiers and developing the worlds and strategies in which
players will battle their armies.
To accommodate
such a highly creative team of designers and developers, the opportunity
to network and discuss ideas, strategies and stories
in an informal environment is provided in an open plan common room/meeting
space. With the ability to house up to eight separate meetings and
over 50 people at one time, lively and ‘animated’ discussion
can easily cause distraction for others and make concentration extremely
difficult.
i-ceilings
Approved Installers Apple Sound provided a highly effective and unobtrusive
solution by installing an i-ceilings-based Sound Masking
System and ensuring ‘Absorb’ and ‘Cover’ elements
were also introduced into the space.
'We established
a new area in the office complex as a common room. The open-plan,
light and airy space was designed for informal meetings,
but we needed an environment that provided some privacy too. Apple
Sound demonstrated their sound masking system to us which immediately
created the right acoustic atmosphere for the room. The system is completely
discrete as there are no visible components. Two months after installation,
the unobtrusive system continues to provide just the right level of
speech privacy - enhancing this positive workspace.'
