“Within One&Co, we offer stylish open spaces, private booths, and facilities ideal for online meetings, providing our members with a comfortable and focused work environment.”
“Initiatives to Enhance Acoustic Environment and Privacy”
“In recent years, the use of One&Co’s phone booths for online meetings and business discussions has been rapidly increasing. To provide clearer and more comfortable conversation spaces, we are collaborating with Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc. to conduct a pilot test using sound-absorbing panels.”
“Especially in global online business negotiations, clarity of conversation and the assurance of privacy are essential, making improvements to the acoustic environment indispensable.”
“Therefore, we have installed iwasemi™ sound-absorbing panels (RC-α and SQ-α) on the glass surfaces and selected areas inside the meeting booths.”
“With their high sound-absorbing performance and refined design, we were able to significantly improve the acoustic environment while preserving the ambiance of the space.”
“In Japan, we have also conducted joint research using earlier models of the iwasemi sound-absorbing panels to reduce noise at JR East construction sites, and this time we have introduced them at One&Co as well.”
Effects After Installing Acoustic Panels
As a result of installing the iwasemi™ acoustic panels, the reverberation time in the speech frequency range of 500Hz to 1000Hz was reduced from 0.31 seconds to 0.21 seconds—an approximate 21.9% decrease.
This improvement enhanced speech intelligibility, and the panel’s design gently softens sightlines, thereby increasing both privacy and the sophistication of the space.
The Comfortable Workspace That One&Co Aims For
One&Co places great importance on balancing design and functionality to create an environment where users can focus and work efficiently.
The installation of the acoustic panels is part of this initiative, and we will continue to provide an even more comfortable and productive coworking environment moving forward.
