Improving acoustic clarity in a specialist healthcare environment
Creating modern workspace for the world’s best-known brands requires innovative solutions and clever use of space. That’s why architects Gensler chose Style, the UK’s leading moveable wall specialist, to deliver Adobe’s vision, working with contractor, Como.
As workplace environments continue to evolve, organisations are increasingly seeking flexible space solutions that can adapt to changing operational requirements while maintaining strong acoustic performance and contemporary design aesthetics. This was the objective behind Style’s latest installation for PRS for Music.
To create a versatile and multifunctional workspace, Style installed a Dorma Huppe Variflex glass movable wall in an L-shaped configuration. Featuring semi-automatic operation, 52dB Rw acoustic performance and a fully glazed pass door, the system allows spaces to be opened up or divided as required, while preserving natural light and visual connectivity throughout the office.
Complementing the glazed system, two Dorma Huppe Variflex solid movable walls were incorporated to provide enhanced privacy and acoustic separation where needed. Delivering 59dB Rw sound insulation and finished in a premium Kvadrat fabric wrap, the partitions combine exceptional performance with a refined interior finish.
The completed installation provides PRS for Music with a highly adaptable workspace that can easily accommodate meetings, collaborative working and private discussions. By combining glazed and solid movable wall systems, the solution balances openness with acoustic control, creating a flexible environment that supports the needs of a modern workplace both now and in the future.

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.
