Reimagining Corporate Spaces with AV-Driven Lobby Design
Make a strong first impression
The entrance of a corporate office often determines the first impressions guests make of the business. Choosing a lobby design driven by audiovisual (AV) considerations will promote impressions of efficiency and professionalism. Guests will notice this immediately upon arrival through well-considered use of technology integrated into the lobby layout.
Enhance the guest experience with integrated tech
Consider AV-driven elements of interior design that allow guests to engage with the lobby (and the organisation by association). Digital displays such as video walls expand branding reach while assisting visitors and enhancing their experience. These displays provide essential services, such as wayfinding, distributing security and safety information, and promoting events and offerings. They may also play music, contributing to the overall sense of ambience visitors will appreciate. Visitor kiosks such as self-service check-ins free up the front desk staff for other important tasks and ensure guests always feel attended to.
Utilise artificial and natural light
Utilise windows and skylights to take advantage of the sun’s natural lighting, complementing this with artificial lighting to avoid a dark room. This will create a warm, bright, inviting lobby space to welcome arriving guests and employees.
Manage acoustics in communal spaces
Protect private conversations and manage volume control for a secure and productive communal space free of echoes. Use noise control materials such as fabric-wrapped or fibreglass panels to reduce sound reflections. Soft furnishings like carpeted flooring and rugs help absorb sounds that may echo across the lobby. Seal gaps around each door to avoid sound leakage between the lobby and other rooms.
Create a functional lobby with style
Use AV-driven design elements to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal when designing your lobby. Stylistic ideas include introducing visual interest/entertainment features to lobbies, such as decorating the space with ceiling installations and artwork. Tasteful furniture that follows a theme provides an engaging place for guests to relax on arrival.
