BissetAdams

As both architect and occupier, Bisset Adams was able to shape the office around its own working culture. The plan brings the practice together within a shared studio while providing dedicated spaces for client presentations, confidential meetings and informal exchange. A generous reception area, reading space, bar, pool table and communal dining table extend the workplace beyond the desk, creating a setting for both focused work and day-to-day interaction.

Revolution 100 double-glazed partitioning was used to enclose the boardrooms, with Elite Aero pocket sliding doors integrated into the glazed elevations. The doors retract into concealed pockets when open, preserving usable floor area and allowing the rooms to connect more directly with the wider studio. When closed, the partition and door configuration provides the acoustic separation needed for private meetings. Project information records an acoustic rating of Rw43dB; this should be confirmed against the relevant tested configuration before publication.

Glass was used in place of solid room boundaries to allow natural light to extend further through the office and maintain visual connection between shared and enclosed settings. Powder-coated frames were coordinated with the existing interior palette, while yellow accents reinforce the bright character of the space. Together, the glazing, sliding doors and colour create a workplace that feels open and cohesive while still providing the privacy required for client-facing rooms.
