Furniture Installation
With an existing open-plan office offering limited opportunities for private conversations and meetings, Perth & Kinross Council wanted to improve acoustic comfort, introduce greater privacy and make better use of the available space. The brief was to create dedicated meeting and collaboration zones, incorporating meeting pods and suspended acoustic solutions, while working with the existing furniture and colour scheme to ensure a cohesive finish.
More than 100 recycled PET suspended acoustic panels were installed throughout the workspace to help absorb sound and reduce reverberation. Further acoustic treatments were introduced across the meeting areas, creating quieter, more comfortable environments for focused conversations and collaborative working. Together, these solutions help to define distinct zones within the open-plan office, improving both the functionality and acoustic comfort of the space.
Bespoke Wall Panels
Alongside a range of suspended acoustic panels, we designed bespoke wall-mounted panels for the five existing meeting rooms. Taking inspiration from the Scottish Highlands, the panel design incorporated a subtle tartan-inspired engraved pattern, creating a considered nod to Scottish heritage without overwhelming the interiors.
Additional vinyl manifestations across the glazing provided essential visual screening, addressing privacy concerns while maintaining a sense of connection to the wider office.
Meeting Pods
To provide much-needed additional meeting space, we introduced Framery Lounge phone pods, alongside Framery Four and Four DDA meeting pods throughout the office. Privacy manifestations were applied to the glazing, providing visual screening for confidential conversations. Designed for acoustic comfort, the Framery pods incorporate sound masking technology, with adjustable lighting and ventilation controls to create a comfortable environment. The new facilities were an immediate hit, with staff keen to use the pods as soon as installation was complete – a clear indication of just how needed these spaces were.
Working closely with the client, our installation team carefully coordinated the delivery and installation around the council’s operational requirements. Throughout the process, our team remained flexible and responsive to the needs of the site, ensuring the works were completed efficiently and with minimal disruption.
The Results
The completed workspace provides Perth & Kinross Council with a series of dedicated meeting, collaboration and private working areas within its existing open-plan office. The combination of acoustic panels, meeting pods and privacy screening has transformed how the space can be used, creating calmer surroundings and greater flexibility for staff.
The client was extremely pleased with the finished result, which successfully brings together acoustic performance and practical space planning.
