With a new hybrid model of work emerging, architects and designers around the world are rethinking office layouts. With more employers embracing flexible working, the role of the workspace has seen a big shift and for many businesses it is becoming a hub for collaboration, innovation and connecting with colleagues again.
If offices are to become venues for both high-energy collaboration and concentration, limiting noise and unnecessary distractions will be paramount.

The importance of acoustic health
While architects respond to design challenges covering aesthetics and usability, an area often overlooked is the importance of acoustics and the impact it can have on work environments. Noise has been shown to be a risk factor for both physiological and psychological health, so acoustic design needs to remain a key consideration when creating and adapting workspaces.

SonaSpray – the sound solution
Oscar Acoustics’ SonaSpray range of recycled, fire-rated acoustic finishes, absorb sound energy instead of reflecting it, enabling designers to create calm and inviting workspaces that sound as good as they look. The range allows complete flexibility with Cat A and Cat B fit-out configuration and reconfiguration, enabling architects to create adaptable spaces where employees don’t need to shout to be heard.
Successful offices of the future will enhance the health and wellbeing of all those who enter and empower them to perform at their best.
