Point S head office
Customised acoustics which reflect the brand's image
Challenge
- Provide employees with a 350 m2 space which is welcoming and supportive of productive working, while reflecting Point S’s brand identity and embodying the brand’s stress-free ethos.
An entire floor has been redesigned to include open-plan workspaces, private offices, meeting rooms, booths, coffee areas and a breakout space welcoming employees as they step out of the lift. Addressing the acoustic challenges across this extensive area was a key priority, alongside a strong focus on aesthetics.
- Rethinking the head office’s largest meeting room
The aim was to deliver acoustic performance tailored to the needs of the company’s main meeting room at its headquarters, a key strategic space.
Key considerations included a spacious setting, the potential for large gatherings, confidentiality and brand image.
Solutions
- Liego waffles on the ceilings of the open spaces and relaxation area
- Kyoto suspended panels in the open spaces and offices
- Oslo partitions to separate offices
Meeting room
- 16 custom-made suspended sound absorbers covering the ceiling, installed symmetrically and at an angle for a dynamic effect.
- Integrated lighting: each suspended element incorporates a neon LED, combining acoustic comfort and lighting in a single module.
- The back wall is clad with Macao panels made of grooved compact rPET, adding texture and depth with a deep blue finish that complements the ceiling, curtains and coffee area.
Results
Ultimately, true to Point S’s “stress-free” ethos, the acoustic solutions have preserved the open-plan layout while ensuring acoustic comfort. Employees are immersed in the Point S brand universe and enjoy a welcoming, modern working environment.
The waffle-like forms of Liego and the tropical jungle-inspired patterns of the Kyoto panels add a contemporary design touch, while the understated Oslo partitions blend seamlessly into the space.
The brand is brought to the fore through logos featured on two bespoke suspended acoustic elements, as well as the tagline “No stress, there’s Point S”, incorporated into the Macao panel on the back wall.
Finally, a bespoke cut-out mural in compact rPET provides the backdrop for a neon-style inset logo at the entrance.
