Adding adaptability to the conference and meeting centre at the Nottingham Center Parcs, Style recently installed nine Dorma Huppe Variflex moveable wall systems, as part of a major refurbishment project. Effortless to manoeuvre, the Variflex walls can be quickly moved into position to create multiple rooms of varying sizes, maximising revenue from the space by directly matching the demands of the day.
A common stacking area allows the entire area to be opened up into a single open-plan space that is suitable for larger events. With an impressive 55dB acoustic rating on all walls, concurrent meetings and events can take place undisturbed and, by including numerous pass doors, Style created ease of access between rooms for staff when the walls are in place. Center Parcs has more than 30 years’ experience in the UK short break market. It offers families the chance to escape daily stresses in beautiful woodland settings, with a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities, award-winning spa facilities, restaurants, retail outlets and a subtropical swimming paradise.
Center Parcs is also an exceptional business venue and, at Sherwood Forest, Style worked with Architects, Jackson Design Associates, and contractors, The Jordon Group, to create flexible space within its conference and meeting centre, called The Venue. Complementing the interior design of the room Style provided a timber effect laminate finish on one side of the walls, the client adding a natural woodland wallpaper to the other.
“This is a very good example of how to take a large open space and install a combination of moveable walls to create true adaptability,” said Steve Williams, Style’s sales director for the Midlands. “For Center Parcs, it enables them to maximise the use of their meeting and conference facilities, making this a superb facility for corporate events." “Center Parcs also has a keen focus on sustainability and minimising its carbon footprint, and the Variflex walls fit that model perfectly thanks to their EPD certification in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN15804.” www.style-partitions.co.uk
