The two Adaptable Meeting Rooms were arranged corner to corner, using Optima’s twist-and-lock connection to create more than a pair of enclosed rooms. Their placement also defines the spaces between and around them, establishing informal areas for conversation, individual work and short breaks.

This gives the installation an architectural role within the office. Rather than sitting as isolated enclosures, the rooms form the centre of a wider workplace village, with furniture and circulation arranged around their geometry.

Each room incorporates a twin-fan ventilation system supplying fresh air at up to 98 litres per second. An integrated air-quality sensor monitors CO₂ levels, allowing conditions within the enclosed space to be tracked during use.

Fuzone 500 antibacterial lighting was also incorporated into the rooms as part of the original specification. Together, these integrated services allowed the meeting spaces to operate as self-contained environments while preserving the clean, freestanding character of the Adaptable Meeting Room.

The modular construction allows the rooms to be dismantled, moved and reassembled in a different configuration as RLB’s requirements change. Instead of fixing the meeting spaces permanently into the interior, the installation can adapt alongside changes in team structure, working patterns or the way the wider office is used.

This gives the meeting rooms a longer role within the workplace. Future changes can be made by reconfiguring the existing system rather than removing it and starting again, reducing disruption and avoiding the need for a complete strip-out and rebuild.
