Corporate Office Design with Segmented Acoustic Glass Panels
Located at Marina One, this project involves the fit out of a financial services office for a multinational company. The workspace includes multiple enclosed rooms and meeting areas that require acoustic privacy, while still allowing light and visibility to flow through the office.
To achieve this, the SOLO P30 Glass Panel paired with SOLO Framed Door was applied across the entire office. Using a single system throughout helped establish a consistent visual language while meeting the functional requirements expected in a financial workplace.

Maintaining Design Intent Within Budget
One of the key discussions during the project centred on how to preserve the original design intent while working within budget constraints. For the main meeting room, the initial concept explored curved glass panels to introduce a softer form and a sense of movement within the space.
After reviewing cost implications, the project team explored alternative approaches that could deliver a similar visual outcome. The solution was to introduce segmented glass panels using the SOLO P30 system. Through careful planning of panel widths and angles, the segmented configuration creates a faceted appearance that references the look of curved glass, while remaining practical to execute.
This adjustment allowed the overall design direction to remain intact, demonstrating how early intent can be supported through thoughtful detailing rather than direct substitution.
Adapting One System Across Different Spaces
The glazed system was applied across the office with a consistent acoustic specification, while the configuration was adjusted to suit different spatial needs. Full height glass office panels were used in private rooms and smaller meeting spaces, providing clear enclosure and reliable sound control.
In the main meeting room, the system was arranged with segmentation to respond to the scale and visibility of the space. This allowed the room to be visually structured without changing the acoustic performance of the glass partition system. The result is a meeting space that remains acoustically effective while presenting a more defined architectural presence within the office.
This approach demonstrates how a single glass partition system can be adapted to different layouts and room sizes, maintaining consistent performance while supporting varied design expressions across the workplace.
Refinement Through Collaboration
As the project progressed, details were refined through close coordination between the interior designer and the project team. Design intent, budget considerations, and site conditions were reviewed together, allowing solutions to be adjusted in a measured and practical way.
These discussions ensured that changes made along the way felt deliberate and consistent, rather than reactive, and that the final outcome remained aligned with the original vision.
Detail Driven Decisions
A subtle but important detail can be seen at the junction between the segmented glass panels and the SOLO framed doors. The element positioned beside the door is not an aluminium power pole, which is typically finished in aluminium and used between doors and glass panels. Instead, a framed partition with frame cladding was introduced to support the segmented configuration and maintain visual continuity within the system.
This choice reflects how different components can be selectively applied to achieve the desired look, while still working within project constraints.
A Consistent Office Environment
Across meeting rooms, private offices, and shared areas, the consistent use of the SOLO P30 glass panels and SOLO framed doors brings cohesion to the entire office. Where variations were required, they were introduced carefully, allowing each space to respond to its function without disrupting the overall visual flow.
This Marina One project illustrates how clear design intent, flexible systems, and collaborative decision making can come together to deliver a well balanced office environment that meets both aesthetic and practical needs.
