A One-of-a-Kind DIRTT Destination in New York City

Once you transition through the entry way and sway to your right, you’ll see two twin timber pods that almost look like they belong in an upscale lounge. Created with cross-laminated timber, these fancy breakaway areas have integrated tech and bridge graphics. This type of set-up could be incorporated into cafeteria-style spaces in offices, education spaces, or healthcare facilities. Or they could be used as touchdown meeting areas to break up open layouts. Either way, they’re as sophisticated as they are functional. And you won’t be able to tell, but a sneaky door is hidden in the middle of these pods, leading to a back room. 

When this Leaf Folding Wall^® is closed, it divides the Class Act and the Rush Hour spaces (which we will get to later on). A closed position works best for tours, presentations, or if multiple groups are exploring the space at the same time. When opened, it instantly turns this space to open concept, great for entertaining and hosting events. In areas where real estate is at a premium, this solution gives you the best of both worlds — privacy when you need it, an open concept when you don’t. But with this level of functionality, you don’t have to compromise aesthetics. This Leaf Wall^® was built to look like a gallery wall, mixing textures, finishes and graphics. 

Head towards the back of the space and you come to a mini-conference room. Perfect for collaboration sessions or private meetings that take place in an office environment. The blue wall panel extends into a graphic bespoke ceiling, surrounded by wood. A mix of matte and glossy writable surfaces allow for brainstorming sessions. And seamless integrated tech shines at the center. Another Leaf Wall frames one side of the room, allowing the space to open up into a larger environment when needed. 

Connected to State of Mind by the Leaf Wall, the Hudson is a space to showcase what a private office could look like with DIRTT. It's a room that displays DIRTT’s acoustical strengths. An acoustic barn door, tackable fabric panels and double insulated walls all contribute to this. Created with a holistic approach to acoustics, a sit-stand desk, casework bench and shelving make the space comfortable for occupants. 

This tailored phone booth, known as Speak Easy, has an eclectic backpainted glass gallery wall. The overall ambiance is similar to an old library or den. Open veneer shelving and fabric-wrapped wall panels play a part in creating this mood. How does this space connect with our clients’ spaces? Phone booths are becoming very popular in office spaces with open-concept layouts. The ability to step away for a call with privacy or have peace and quiet to reach a pressing deadline, can often be a missing link. This environment demonstrates that small spaces can still leave a lasting, bold impression.       

Further down the hall you come to another phone booth that’s nothing like Speak Easy. Same purpose, completely different vibe. This little room is bright and chic thanks to natural light and soft nature graphics. It’s cool, calm, and collected. Fun fact: the lighter matte WriteAway jungle graphic was added into the space as a giant coloring book — a way to take a moment to de-stress. And, it’s another space that demonstrates DIRTT’s acoustical management.  

Walk out the Edison and you’ll arrive at our healthcare display. Be Patient is a mock nurse station or admin area. Complimented by wood grain finishes and soft blue hues, this area is welcoming and comforting. Switch glass demonstrates how flexibility can be added to a space. Under the integrated computer screen is a panel with magnetic clips. This gives access to make adjustments to the computer’s settings when needed.  

When you walk into Speedy Recovery, it feels like you’ve actually entered a patient room in a hospital based on the attention to detail. This space is soothing, neutral, and clean. Distraction imagery demonstrates a patient-centered design approach, giving off a calm impression. This room contains both a headwall and footwall application, as well as casework with detailed features designed specifically for healthcare. Integrated tech, clock and a writable nurses chart graphic complete the space. The end result is a just one application of how a modern, adaptable healthcare space could look and feel like. One that aids in the healing process.
