Haworth Tompkins offices become a living showcase
W
hen architects Haworth Tompkins relocated after over a decade in Kentish Town – the move allowed the studio to combine their main office and nearby satellite office into one new larger space
close to the Barbican. The move
provided the perfect opportunity to make the new office a showcase of the latest materials and digital infrastructure. Keen to keep to their ethos of reuse, recycle and reduce, many
of the original fixtures and fittings were repurposed to make them suitable for the new office. Facilities also include personal lockers, bike storage and shower rooms to encourage sustainable commuting. The new studio accommodates 110 staff on site, coupled with digitally equipped meeting rooms,
display areas showing
architectural models and large open plan areas including hot desks, meeting spaces and break out areas. The practice also hosts many public outreach events, such as the London Festival of Architecture, Architects Declare Sustainability events and various exhibitions. As a result, Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panels were used to control the acoustics and help acoustical performance. Specified in a natural finish, they blend in well with the existing substrate of concrete, wood and tiled floors. Troldtekt wood wool acoustic panels excel at mitigating the problems stemming from long reverberation time and reflected sound.
