About Murphy Phillips Architects
Murphy Phillips Architects is a London-based architectural practice known for its thoughtful, design-led approach to the built environment. Working within a collaborative studio setting, the team balances creative discussion with the need for focused work and private meetings.
As a design practice, the quality, functionality, and aesthetic of their workspace plays an important role in supporting both day-to-day work and client engagement.
The Project Brief
Within their London studio, Murphy Phillips Architects required a dedicated meeting space that could support confidential discussions without disrupting the wider open-plan environment.
Key requirements included:
- A private area for meetings and client conversations
- Strong acoustic performance within a busy studio
- A solution that complemented the studio’s architectural aesthetic
The brief called for a flexible, self-contained meeting space that could be introduced without permanent building works.
The Solution: Bob Room Meeting Pod by My Office Pod
To meet these requirements, My Office Pod supplied a Bob Room meeting pod, creating a dedicated, enclosed meeting space within the studio.
The Bob Room offers an acoustically controlled environment suitable for small meetings, collaborative discussions, and focused conversations. Its compact footprint allows it to sit comfortably within an open-plan layout, while still providing a clear separation from the surrounding workspace.
The pod integrates seamlessly into the studio, offering a functional meeting room solution that aligns with the design-led nature of the practice.
Why a Meeting Pod Was the Right Choice
Meeting pods are an effective solution for creative studios that need to balance openness with privacy.
At Murphy Phillips Architects, the Bob Room meeting pod provides:
- A quiet, enclosed space for meetings and discussions
- Improved speech privacy within the open-plan studio
- A flexible alternative to traditional meeting rooms
This approach allows the team to maintain a collaborative studio atmosphere while ensuring privacy when it’s needed.
The Benefits of Acoustic Meeting Pods in Design Studios
Acoustic meeting pods offer a number of benefits within architectural and creative environments, including:
- Reduced noise disruption across shared workspaces
- Improved focus and productivity
- A more flexible use of available floor space
- The ability to adapt the workspace as needs change
These benefits make meeting pods a practical and visually appropriate solution for design-led organisations.
Supporting Creative and Collaborative Working
This project highlights how My Office Pod supports architectural practices by delivering acoustic solutions that respect both functionality and design.
With the addition of the Bob Room meeting pod, Murphy Phillips Architects’ London studio now benefits from a dedicated meeting space that enhances collaboration, supports privacy, and fits naturally within their creative working environment.
