Zig Zag Building, London
The Project
Globant was a 25,000 sq ft CAT B fit out from an existing CAT A space for a client within the technology industry. The complex design featured numerous different ceiling installations, several of which were manufactured bespoke for the project. There were several different lighting trough & upstand details created across the floor, each providing a different effect once complete.
The feature ceiling area within the tenant’s main breakout space consisted of perforated metal baffles & tiles in a range of colours, resulting in a ‘wave-like’ affect when viewing from all angles.
Although mainly open plan, the space was carefully divided by small meeting room spaces & phone booths. These spaces often involved complex curved corner details & bulkheads, finished with a variety of materials – polished plaster, vinyl wallpaper & paint.
Most of the meeting room spaces were a combination of plasterboard partitioning & glazed partitioning, with the construction of, and interfacing of both critical in achieving the acoustic requirements. As such, each area required careful consideration as no two spaces were the same.
A key feature space of the project was the creation of an arched rotunda – consisting of 8 equal glazed arches framed within a curved plasterboard construction & finished with a concrete-effect polished plaster finish.
