Designing a modular, sustainable and acoustic Phone Booth with a comfortable and safe environment

At: Vepa B.V.

Based on the demand of the university, the company's objectives, the end-users' needs and problems with existing designs, a phone booth was designed. Main findings were that the booth should be modular, ergonomic, sustainable and should contain a comfortable and safe environment. Furthermore, it should be suitable for all possible locations within the university and convey a sense of privacy and a homely feel. Various attributes, like changeable top walls, an open roof and bottom walls with three layers of materials with desired acoustic properties, were incorporated into the design to meet the requirements. Due to the design attributes, the product does not require expensive climate and safety regulation equipment, implying that it is cheaper than existing designs and hence more accessible for potential buyers.
