next  The Manukau City Council Building  The Manukau City Council appointed Creative Spaces design group to create their refurbished interior. Creative Spaces selected EcoSoft® acoustic carpet tiles to meet their client's requirement for a cost-effective floor covering that would function in a testing environment. This is a multi-storey building that houses all the facilities that a local government requires for effectively managing a locality that is the fastest growing city in the nation. Why they selected EcoSoft® .. Public access for planning, permit applications & ratepayer business required a robust, hard wearing flooring that would withstand considerable wear, exposure to heavy footwear & very high traffic rotation Meeting & conference facilities required a sense of formality & occasion suitable for a wide range of purposes & attendees Permanently occupied offices need to be comfortable, warm, & quiet enough for a large open-office environment to function effectively & peacefully Considereable inter-office & inter-floor 'traffic' was expected throughout the building. Some public acccess areas of the installation would need to be subjected to rigorous regular cleaning. EcoSoft® acoustic carpet tiles had the capacity to excell in all these conditions & was selected for the installation.
