S

13th fl oor of Chancery Place. Working closely with architect SpaceInvader, the team created a fl exible,
designed to support collaboration, and adaptability.
high-performance workspace focus
Creating a distinctive visual impact, Overbury’s nautilus shell-inspired acoustic ceiling feature combines with custom teardrop-shaped acoustic baffl es to provide effective sound control. In addition, a varied selection of Autex acoustic wall panels – including printed, grooved and Groove Duet panels – delivers both acoustic performance and design creativity.
“The acoustics have become a standout
feature, sparking conversation and drawing attention from everyone who visits,” says
David Vaal, managing director of
Overbury North. Adding fl exibility to the design studio, a
Dorma 52dB glazed partitioning system with black profi les was paired with a Dorma 55dB solid movable wall fi nished with Autex panels. These systems stack neatly into compact pocket doors on either side of the room, allowing the

space to be quickly reconfi gured for meetings, collaboration or private working. As Nick Gibson from Style North explains: “This project highlights what can be achieved when acoustics are considered as part of the design process rather than an afterthought, delivering a solution that balances performance with a clean, high-quality aesthetic.” Further demonstrating its attention to detail, Style incorporated an automatic track blocker within the cross junction of the two movable wall systems, minimising sound transfer and delivering optimum acoustic separation. Existing Autex fi nishes within the room were also updated, further enhancing both the acoustic performance and overall aesthetic. “From concept through to completion, the outcome has fully lived up to expectations,” adds Vaal, “creating a space that refl ects both innovation and quality.”
