In December I shot the offices of engineers Cundall in central Birmingham for Autex Acoustics. Their workspace was in need of expansion so they extended into the floor above the existing office, via a bespoke plywood staircase. A number of different Autex products were used, and in some creative ways.

The ceiling baffles they commonly install were in this case used in a concertina arrangement down the length of the space, and an amphitheatre was constructed from boxes covered with acoustic material.

In the reception area they had used various materials from this project and others to make a geometric wall design that makes for a great feature of the office space and also serves as an introduction to the work they do.

Another innovative use of the Autex materials was a pair of individual work space pods. These were made with a timber frame and lined with acoustic material to make a quiet space to work in.
