INIT, a global company, expanded its UK headquarters in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market district to support future growth and create a dynamic workspace. Office Innovations led the redesign, prioritising both functionality and visual appeal. To enhance acoustic comfort while complementing the architectural features, ekko Acoustics supplied custom Jena Baffles, which seamlessly integrated into the design. With a large open-plan office, breakout areas, and collaborative spaces, controlling noise was crucial. The ceiling’s architectural features and mechanical services presented an additional challenge, requiring a bespoke acoustic solution that maintained aesthetic cohesion while integrating with the lighting design.

ekko Acoustics provided custom-sized Jena Baffles, precisely tailored to fit around ceiling elements while delivering effective sound absorption. Some of these baffles incorporated Jena Line Acoustic LED Linear lighting, offering both ambient illumination and acoustic performance in a single, streamlined solution. This integration reduced noise distractions, enhanced focus and collaboration, and preserved the ceiling’s architectural integrity. The result was a sophisticated and functional workspace, where lighting and acoustics work in harmony to create an optimal office environment.
