demountable walls in a modern office

6 Collaborative Space Ideas with Demountable Walls

Enclosed collaborative spaces are a must-have for any workplace, and demountable walls are the perfect framework to support creative teamwork.

The rise of the open plan created some issues for employees who crave privacy for collaborating and focusing as a group. While open plan areas can support quick interactions and short meetings, teams are more productive and creative when provided with enclosed spaces that eliminate interruptions and offer integrated technology. At the same time, the acoustic properties of the wall systems prevent other workers from being disturbed by active brainstorming and video conferencing sessions. Demountable walls provide the integrated technology, acoustic and visual privacy, and future flexibility for reconfigurations.

Here are some examples of collaborative spaces created with demountable walls (also known as movable walls):
