Open-plan offices are no longer a rarity in the modern working world. Decades ago, the trend spilled over more and more into Europe and Germany. A trend does not mean that open-plan offices are suitable for everyone. In fact, the opposite is often the case.
Imagine trying to fit 30 employees into a sprawling open-plan office. This offers employees little to no privacy, limited noise protection and, more importantly, minimal protection against external influences such as viruses in corona times.
The theory behind open-plan offices is quite understandable, as it is supposed to create a sense of community, togetherness and accountability among employees. However, when working in these large-scale workspaces, it is also very easy to get distracted or to distract others. Both acoustic and visual stimuli can pull employees out of their work processes and create counter-productivity.
The idea of an open office concept also has great advantages and there must be a way to take advantage of the extremely positive features of the theory. It must be possible to create an environment that balances productivity and community. With today's space solutions, this should not be a problem. Far from the typical Spanish wall or other inexpensive screens, we are thinking more of a kind of "variable solid wall".
Is there a way employers can create open-plan offices that encourage togetherness, are productive, responsible and safe? raumplus believes there is a solution for every individual office space. Our revolutionary designs make it possible to create an open office concept that improves and optimises the relationship between space and efficiency. It is not for nothing that raumplus has specialised in room dividers and partition walls since 1986.
The raumplus room partitioning systems are a solution that offers your workplace incredible flexibility. The systems make it possible to create an open office concept that maximises employee concentration by reducing distracting acoustic and visual stimuli.
Even more impressively, these partitions enhance the sense of community, togetherness and accountability that an open office is designed to create. raumplus offers many different partition options to enhance your open office. "We combine concentrated work with the necessary transparency. Instead of masonry, lightweight walls, etc., we offer real eye-catchers of room partitioning, if desired."
You can choose between partition panels such as wood, metal or glass. In addition, you can personalise these partitions by adding blackboards or magnetic surfaces. This can give your employees extra creative space, encourage better collaboration and help them stay organised.
Our partition wall systems can be used as a fixed element or as a sliding wall. You can even use them to create an individual room-in-room system that is completely independent of the ceiling. With all these options and more, raumplus can revolutionise your open-plan office.
We understand the need for community and accountability, but we also know that not all employees can work in the same environment. Allow us to help you create an open-plan office that meets the needs of your business and your employees.
