Transforming Modern Spaces: How Komfort Is Used in Offices, Retail, Airports & More
Modern buildings need to be flexible, acoustically comfortable, visually impressive, and compliant in order to perform to the best of their ability. That’s where the use of space and division plays a huge role.
Partition systems are used widely in commercial and mixed-use spaces to divide, reconfigure, and optimise indoor space without the need for permanent construction. Below are some real-world examples of how partitioning systems are used and how businesses benefit from them.
Office Environments
The most common place where partitions are used is the office. Offices must have a good balance of openness, privacy, collaboration, and concentration, all whilst maintaining good aesthetics. Glass and solid partitions are often used to create meeting rooms, private spaces, quiet zones, and collaboration areas whilst ensuring a strong visual connection to the brand.
Office Environments
This luxury home builder needed a more dynamic office space that embodied the brand’s premium quality. The project combined single-glazed and double-glazed partitions to create a light-filled, flexible office with high acoustic insulation.
Sage Headquarters
A combination of single and double-glazed partitions helped deliver flexible meeting spaces and work areas. With a high focus on productivity, privacy, and wellbeing, a high level of acoustics was needed, which was achieved with the partitioning and acoustic absorbers.
Airports
Airports need acoustic performance, visual openness, and robust functionality as they operate around the clock and accommodate thousands of people every day. Partitions play a huge role in helping operations behind the scenes in offices, meeting rooms, control centres, and more.
Partitions can help airports maintain a good level of acoustics, maintain natural light, and provide dedicated areas where necessary.
Dublin Airport Authority (DAA)
The DAA is a large transportation hub with operational areas like offices, meeting zones, and staff facilities that help balance openness with performance in these important premises. Using partitioning, DAA can now accommodate different working styles and activities with optimal acoustics.
Banks
In the financial sector, interior design is incredibly important to convey trust, professsionalism, and brand identity. Confidentiality during conversations with customers is also a must. Oartitining systems are a cost-effective way of achieving this balance and ensuring openness without compromising privacy.
Bank of Ireland
Regular and curved single-glazed and double-glazed partitions were added to specialist areas in order to create private spaces where confidential chats could take place without compromising aesthetics. Frosted partitions allowed natural light to still flood the office whilst maintaining privacy.
Bank of New York
The Bank of New York demonstrates how partitioning systems can combine style, functionality, and flexibility in corporate environments. By using single and double-glazed partitions, offices, reception areas, and seminar rooms were able to be created for privacy whilst maintaining natural light. The end result was an interior that balanced aesthetics, acoustic performance, and workplace needs.
Education
Educational buildings must be set up to support a wide range of activities from quiet studies to collaborative work. Flexibility is becoming key in modern learning environments, and partitions are becoming necessary to allow this. Partitioning solutions offer acoustic control, safety, and visual connection in teaching spaces, study zones, libraries, and staff areas.
Barnfield College
This Luton-based college wanted to achieve the required acoustic and fire performance throughout the building, as well as maintain a clean, light-filled space for students. By using fire-rated partitions, the result was a modern, safe building that adhered to regulations.
University of Hertfordshire
Partitioning systems played a huge role in creating high‑specification, acoustically optimised and fire‑safe learning environments. Partitions were used throughout classrooms, offices, and collaborative areas whilst maintaining compliance with safety regulations.
