BAU 2025

Right at the start of the trade fair, fecotür Air was honoured with the ‘Special Award’ of the Architecture + Construction Innovation Prize. The fecodoor Air combines air transfer and sound insulation in a single door leaf. The integrated air transfer units allow an air volume flow of approximately 150–180 m³/h at a pressure loss of 10–15 Pa, while providing sound insulation of R_w,P = 37 dB.

The fabric-covered rear wall of the large meeting room enhances room acoustics: fecophon Fabric Blue meets the stringent requirements of the AgBB evaluation scheme. The full-height wall fecoorga, structured with horizontally black-anodized joint profiles, enables flexible attachment of whiteboards and other organizational elements. The room’s second door is a flush glass-frame door of type fecodoor A105, which meets high sound insulation standards with a lab-tested rating of R_w,P = 42 dB. The slim door leaf frame is veneered in real oak wood, matching the adjacent double-glazed fecostruct Wood and fecofix Wood elements.

The Duo Studio and Workshop Room were designed using the fecoplan all-glass construction. A curved laminated safety glass panel with an orange-colored film between the panes evokes the look of an astronaut helmet visor. The lower sections of the full walls feature acoustic functionality with 14/2 mm vertical slots, while the upper sections of the fecophon wall are micro-perforated in a 3/3/1 mm pattern. All acoustically effective surfaces are clad with real silver fir veneer. The frame of the flush wooden door “fecodoor H70”, with an integrated transom and technical side panel, is also finished in silver fir. A felt-covered partition wall, designed as an inlay inspired by a book cover of the sci-fi novel Dune, further improves acoustics through its perforated backing panel.

The glass wall of the workshop room is structured with fecoloft profiles in an industrial style. The flush aluminium-glass door “fecodoor A70” features a two-part frame. A magnetically usable, anti-reflective glass whiteboard is ideal for documenting results from agile working methods—eliminating glare and reflections of users in photographs.

In an era where hybrid work models have become the norm, the office remains a central place for connection, collaboration, and creativity. feco demonstrated how the feco partition wall system can create work environments with enough appeal and functionality to draw employees back from home offices into vibrant, engaging workplaces.
