pitch perfect
One of the main goals of ANZ’s move was to create different ‘zones’ across a single floor including areas for focused work, alone-time, breakout sessions and private phone calls.
To manage the spread of noise throughout the open-plan design, architects TP Bennett chose our SonaSpray acoustic spray range. Once applied to ceilings or walls, the seamless acoustic finish absorbs sound energy instead of reflecting it, enabling spaces to remain relaxed and productive
healthy and sustainable
ANZ’s new 12th floor space in the Cargo building in Canary Wharf is one of London’s most sustainable fit-outs and the project is even included in a British Council for Offices (BCO) report on Circular Economy in Offices – making SonaSpray the perfect fit.
Commonly used within green-build projects, SonaSpray contributes towards many sustainable design and health certification systems including BREEAM, SKA and Living Building Challenge. SonaSpray also boasts GREENGUARD Gold Certified compliance for Indoor Air Quality to ensure that it meets the highest welfare standards.
safety-first
The SonaSpray range has fire credentials that go above and beyond Approved Document B fire requirements (Class 0 to BS476 & B-s1, d0 fire rating). In the event of fire it creates little to no smoke and absolutely no droplets, which assists in the safe escape of occupants.
Mariachiara Dal Pozzo, Associate Director, TP Bennett, said : “We have used SonaSpray on several other projects and it’s quickly become our go-to product.
Having used a competitor product recently, we noticed a drop in standard and only SonaSpray delivers both in terms of aesthetics and sound management. The finish on the project was exceptional and hides any imperfections, making it as visually strong as it is at reducing noise.”
Ben Hancock, managing director at Oscar Acoustics said: “Working alongside TP Bennett, we were able to create a space that reinforced ANZ’s culture, personality and value. The feedback has been extremely positive, staff are relaxed and their surroundings match the versatility and flexibility they need to work productively.”
