New Yorker inspired domicile in old hospital building
Today the old Skt. Joseph's Hospital at Tietgens Plads [English: Tietgens Square] in Aarhus accommodates the successful game developer Kiloo. In connection with the rebuilding of the gaming company's new domicile, DEKO has carried out glazed partitions with sound and fire performance for large-scale offices, meeting rooms and smaller offices – including the popular New Yorker glazed partition DEKO FG Profile.
DEKO FG Profile consists of one layer of full-height glazed panels with profiles in an architectural style previously connected with industrial buildings. The profiles can be applied in individual formats according to customer request. The glass provides a sound reduction of 35-42 dB, depending on the built-in glass type. If you have sound requirements of up to 50 dB or fire requirements of up to EI 60, the same effect can be achieved using the DEKO FG Silent Profile or the DEKO FG Fire Profile. Many door types can be built-in – both solid doors and glazed doors. The advantage of this glazed partition system, in comparison to a forge welded construction, is a stable partition without any loss of sound reduction at the profiles.
Kiloo has wanted to preserve the unique history and distinctive expression of the property, and here the New Yorker glazed partitions give the office a modern, rustic and raw look that fits well into the old hospital buildings.
