Style installed a 6 metre high, fully automatic, vertically rising Skyfold moveable wall in the main ballroom enabling the room to be quickly divided into two large event rooms or opened up into one vast space. With an incredible 59dB Rw acoustic rating, lively, large scale events can take place either side of the wall undisturbed.
In the hotel’s meeting rooms, Style installed various systems which combined semi-automatic Dorma Huppe Variflex double glazed moveable walls with 52dB Rw acoustic ratings and fully glazed pass doors. These meeting areas were then additionally sub divided with smaller Skyfold vertically rising walls offering complete flexibility.
