Unique Properties: This acoustic phone booth is a specialized type of phone booth designed to provide a private and soundproof space for making phone calls or holding video conferences. It is a valuable tool for creating a private and productive work environment in shared spaces. A special feature of this solution is its flexibility - the table and seat are hidden in the wall. The cabin can be easily disassembled and moved to another location.
Dimensions & Packaging: The booth has following dimensions:
height 260 cm
width 200 cm
depth 160 cm
Tags: acoustic phone booth, office space, meeting room, smartphone box
Production Technology: The project was developed collaboratively by the lead designer, the client SOLARLUX and the students of the Fachschule Holztechnik Melle.
Design Challenge: The difficulty of the project was to simultaneously meet the high acoustic requirements, provide sufficient light and adequate ventilation inside, while ensuring the demountability of the structure.
Inspiration: With the rise of collaborative and flexible work environments, there is a growing need for spaces that allow for privacy and concentration, while still facilitating communication and collaboration. By providing a private and soundproof space for making phone calls or holding video conferences, acoustic phone booths help to create a more comfortable and productive work environment.
Project Duration: 2022-2023 Campus SOLARLUX Melle | Germany
Operation Flow: The cabin can be used in different ways by one or more people. It can be used to make phone calls discreetly while standing or sitting. Teleconferences can also be held in it. The sliding glass door allows opening in both directions.
