Troldtekt’s acoustic wood wool panels have helped interior design company Ambiente to win Nohrcon’s annual ‘Office Building of the Year Award’ with its own office in Skanderborg, Denmark.
Created in collaboration with architect Ardess, the new 11,500m2 headquarters for this well-known interior design and exhibition stand company has unique features set within a raw and rustic environment and behind a minimalistic black steel façade.
The centrepiece of the office is a 1,000m2 open external atrium, which every department overlooks, developing a sense of bonding and equality between the tradespeople in production to the designers and sales team at their desks.
“The goal was to create something unique where high ceilings and spaciousness within a raw concrete frame would be a source of inspiration for both employees and clients,” said Ambiente owner and creative director Michael Skjodt.
Consequently, the decor and spaces are designed to release creative ideas and build them up together with the customer.
The result is raw concrete floors and walls with 6.5m high ceilings contrasting against 18 staggered White City cubes. These bright white rooms are used to stimulate creativity from meetings, exhibitions, showrooms and offices.
Black painted Troldtekt acoustic ceiling panels, which have a natural rugged and uncomplicated appearance, are used throughout the open areas and, when combined with long and heavy curtains, give the space of an intimate and quiet atmosphere.
These are complemented by white painted acoustic panels lining the ceilings and overhangs of the cubes to maximise their brightness.
