In late 2018, the US-based software and services firm Acquia opted to move its European headquarters into a larger office space in Reading, and fit out specialists Space was contracted to oversee the project.

We were asked to help make this new marquee office an acoustically perfect workspace and ensure the solution perfectly matched Acquia’s corporate identity.

Located above the main reception area, drinks counter and town hall hub, the Class A absorber soaks up sound to help create an acoustically comfortable breakout space in the middle of a vibrant office.

The result was a large, teardropshaped raft that drew inspiration from Acquia’s primary brand logo.
