Workspace Optimization in Abu Dhabi, UAE

Location Overview

Located in the heart of Abu Dhabi’s business district, the team operated from a leased
commercial office. With a rapidly scaling workforce and limited physical space, the
leadership team faced pressure to modernize the layout without compromising flexibility,
aesthetics, or compliance with building policies. Over six months, the company had
grown by over 60%, and their once-efficient workspace had become fragmented and
noisy.

As new departments were added and teams expanded, the open office setup began to
show its limitations. Employees struggled to conduct focused work, take client calls, or
schedule confidential discussions. The office lacked:
i. Dedicated zones for private conversations
ii. Enough meeting spaces to accommodate daily activity
iii. Sound control for sensitive video calls and presentations
iv. Any ability to renovate due to strict leasing and building restrictions
The management wanted a non-invasive solution that would elevate workspace
performance without extending their lease footprint or interrupting daily operations.
The Solution: Modular Smart Design with iKabin™
iKabin™ implemented a tailored, acoustically optimized cabin solution that aligned with
the workspace’s existing fire regulations, spatial limitations, and design aesthetic.
The transformation featured:

i. Solokabin™ units strategically positioned along glass-facing walls to provide
private, sound-insulated spaces for calls and focused work — ensuring both
acoustic and visual discretion
ii. Duokabin™ cabins placed adjacent to HR and management areas, offering
dedicated zones for confidential meetings, onboarding sessions, and
performance discussions
iii. CollabKabin™, equipped with writable glass surfaces and ambient task lighting,
designed to support agile thinking, impromptu ideation, and dynamic team
huddles
iv. Integrated motion-sensor lighting, silent ventilation, and high-performance
acoustic materials to enhance comfort, efficiency, and environmental
sustainability
v. Custom finishes and a compact, architectural profile that complemented the
modern office layout without compromising usable floor area
This modular, plug-and-play deployment required no construction, permits, or
structural modification and was fully operational within a single weekend, ensuring
a transition with zero disruption to ongoing operations.
This plug-and-play layout required zero construction, no permits, and was installed

the team.
