Room, a modular architecture company behind the award-winning Phone Booth and pioneer in flexible workplace design, introduced The Room Collection, a new series of scalable and adaptable rooms, designed to provide privacy in open floorplans and meet the needs of today’s businesses and office workers.
A major pain point for employees is working in an office that hasn’t yet been optimized for hybrid work. Simultaneously, businesses may find it difficult to swiftly adapt to changing workplace needs. While insufficient meeting spaces, poor acoustics and back-to-back virtual meetings plague workers, inflexible leases and hefty construction costs prevent business leaders from adapting accordingly. The Room Collection offers easy-to-assemble, a soundproof modular office system that can evolve to meet the needs of businesses at any stage.
“We started Room based on a simple observation,” said Thierry Ondet, Room’s managing director. “In open-plan offices, excessive noise and lack of private spaces reduce productivity and morale. Once distracted, it can take 20 minutes or more to refocus, affecting both output and employee retention. Our system creates flexible, comfortable spaces people actually want to be in — spaces that foster both concentration and connection.”
The Room Collection marks Room’s evolution to a full-floor solutions provider, enabling companies to reconfigure spaces quickly and sustainably, without the waste, cost, or permanence of traditional construction. Unlike a traditional conference room build-out, which can take months, Room Collection units can be installed in as little as three hours, and easily reconfigured as company and team needs evolve. This approach delivers up to 30% cost savings and reduces down-time with minimal disruption when compared to traditional construction, plus it supports sustainable office design through replaceable parts and recycled materials, including PET from plastic bottles and 100% wool acoustic walls.
The Room Collection includes ADA-compliant models and has been awarded the Certified Autism Resource (CAR) badge by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES). This certification indicates that Room pods are designed to support individuals with autism and other sensory sensitivities by providing environments that minimize sensory overload. The Room Collection also earned the SCS Indoor Advantage Gold certification for indoor air quality. Each pod in The Collection is designed with Room’s signature attention to acoustic performance, air quality, climate-control, Scandinavian design and plug-and-play simplicity, ensuring connection, comfort, productivity, privacy and wellbeing in the workplace.
The Room Collection is available in three sizes: small, medium and large. Customers can opt for various interior configurations.
