GLASGOW’S Edmiston House is a facility that incorporates the Rangers Football Club museum, a two-storey Rangers FC store and an events area. Partitioning specialist Style worked with architect Keppie Design and contractor Sharkey to deliver flexibility to the function space, installing two Dorma Hüppe Variflex moveable wall systems.
The walls meet to form a T-shape, allowing the area to be divided into two individual rooms linked by an external corridor. Both rooms have pass doors, fitted with push-bar panic hardware to meet evacuation regulations, giving entirely separate access.
Style said the Variflex walls offer a 57dB acoustic rating which enables concurrent events to take place undisturbed.
Edmiston House is not just for Rangers but for the local community and the city of Glasgow. The event space can be used to host seminars, conferences, gigs, exhibitions, awards’ ceremonies and as a fan-zone on match days.
“This is a great example of where moveable walls can be combined to create a really flexible room configuration,” said David Louden, Style’s director for Scotland. “As the room can often host lively events, the acoustic rating is also a huge benefit as it means two events can be hosted without interfering with one another.
“The classic Pearl Grey III finish on these moveable walls also works well, offering not only an adaptable space but a stylish one too.”
Style is the exclusive UK partner to Dorma Huppe, Skyfold and SWG.
