Mazars is a leading international audit, tax and advisory firm. Operating as a united partnership, it works as one integrated team, leveragingexpertise, scale and cultural understanding to deliver exceptional and tailored services in audit and accounting, as well as tax, financial advisory, consulting and legal services.
At Mazars’ offices at the Old Bailey, London Style worked with architects, HLW and contractor, BW, to create flexibility within the meeting rooms. This was the second time that Style had been chosen by Mazars, having previously installed a glass moveable wall at their offices in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham.
At the Old Bailey offices, Style recommended Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable walls as the best option. These offer semi-automatic operation to ensure the acoustic seals are applied to the correct pressure each time the wall is used.
Offering an impressive 55db Rw acoustic rating, meetings can take place either side of the walls without any sound interference making this a truly effective solution for reconfiguring the space.
Creating a T-Shape, three individual meeting rooms can be created through the combination of moveable walls and the stretched Kvadrat fabric finish looks incredibly stylish within the interior design of the offices.
“Office space in major cities comes at a premium and this is a great example of how you can get the most out of your meeting areas by adapting them for meetings of different sizes,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group sales director.
“The semi-automatic Variflex is an exceptional moveable wall of the highest quality and is effortless to manoeuvre into position, which means the space can be easily changed several times a day if necessary.”

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.
