Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
Blending heritage with contemporary workplace design, the four-floor scheme has been carefully crafted to accommodate 600 employees while celebrating the building’s rich industrial past. Every finish was thoughtfully selected to honour the character of the space, ensuring the historic fabric remained at the heart of the design.
A striking CAT B fit-out was delivered within The Pattern Shop, a Grade II listed industrial landmark in Newcastle that once housed steam locomotive works in the early 1800s.

A standout feature of the project is the Beam 100 installation on the top floor. Inspired by railway tracks, the linear ceiling design pays tribute to the history of the site, while delivering impressive acoustic performance and visual impact.

HBN 00-09 sets out these surface characteristics because unsealed joints are a recognised place for moisture and micro-organisms to collect. A genuinely joint-free edge is designed to address that specific detail.
This is a surface and edge specification, not a clinical claim. Zero-joint technology has not been evaluated or certified by NHS England, and does not claim to reduce infection rates.
Food-service and guest-facing areas are typically inspected under hygiene and housekeeping standards that look closely at surfaces and joints. A seamless, moisture-resistant edge is designed with exactly that kind of scrutiny in mind.
Every one of these sectors shares the same underlying surface problem: a bonded-strip edge is a seam, and a seam is a place where dirt, moisture or wear can concentrate in a way a continuous surface can't. Zero-joint technology addresses that one structural detail across offices, schools, healthcare and hospitality settings alike — one construction detail, one shared weak point removed, four sectors that each care about it for their own reasons.
