The development, at the southern end of London’s Regent Street, is home to up to 400 Telefónica Digital employees. New technologies developed by Telefónica Digital will be deployed throughout the HQ which will also act as a showcase for customers and partners.
As a showcase office, Telefónica expected a breathtaking solution when creating flexible space for its meeting and conference rooms. Working with contractor, Overbury, and architect, T P Bennett, Style was specified to install Skyfold; its unique, vertically rising, fully automatic, acoustic moveable wall, housed in the ceiling to maximise floor space.
Skyfold has won huge acclaim since entering the UK market. Gliding effortlessly into position with a simple push button operation, it opens and closes vertically, occupying no wall or floor space at all.
The installation at Telefónica was momentous because it was the 100th installation by Style, the exclusive UK agent to Skyfold.
“To fit our 100th Skyfold at such a prestigious office was a perfect way to celebrate a moveable wall that has won an astonishing number of plaudits as its reputation has grown,” said Julian Sargent, group managing director of Style. “At Telefónica we created flexible space across three meetings rooms by installing two Skyfolds, both in a stunning fabric finish.
“Its incredible Rw 51dB acoustic rating means meetings can be run concurrently with complete privacy. Because it is housed in the ceiling cavity no-one would even know a moveable wall was in the room until activated. And clients always enjoy a real wow-factor when the wall moves silently into position to divide the rooms.”
To date, as part of a global success story, Skyfold has been the choice of 100 UK organisations spanning multiple sectors, including corporate, education, local authority and hospitality. As awareness grows with architects, specifiers, contractors and end-user clients, demand continues to soar.

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.
