Appian furthers staff well-being with great acoustics for new London office

The brief for Resonate was to ensure staff comfort and well-being was at the forefront of the design, with an emphasis on ensuring the workforce would return to the office with a newfound sense of excitement and motivation. Propelled by an ambitious growth strategy, both retaining and attracting new talent through attractive and functional interior design remained important. For the Appian office, as interpreted by Resonate Interiors, this meant maximising daylight and the beautiful city views, whilst accommodating a mix of working arrangements including open-plan desks, quiet work settings, formal meeting spaces, phone rooms and breakout areas, executed with an overarching ‘resi-mercial’ feel.  

Naturally, quality of lighting and acoustics became driving factor for this project, with Resonate Interiors opting to cover roughly 30% of office walls with acoustic products. Selected for their strong sound absorption capability and unique textured pattern, Acoufelt’s custom Fracture ‘Fineline’ panels in color ‘Denim’ were installed on reception and boardroom walls, providing a cool contrast to the feature wood-grid ceiling, and yellow and orange furnishings. The vertical, parallel lines also add an element of depth to the space, whilst also acting to absorb excess sound and reduce noise reverberation.
