In 2024, the OBO Offices project in Monaco incorporated Polygroup’s raised access floor technology to support the creation of a modern, flexible and future-ready workspace. Designed to accommodate open-plan layouts and evolving office environments, the project required a flooring system capable of combining adaptability, technical performance and long-term reliability.

Polygroup supplied 1,500 m² of GAMAFLOR PAC 30/05 raised access floor panels, installed without factory-applied finishes to allow the subsequent installation of self-laying carpet tiles. This solution provided the technical backbone needed for a dynamic open office environment while preserving design freedom and operational efficiency.

Designing Offices for Change

Contemporary office spaces are no longer static. Open-plan layouts, collaborative zones and hybrid work models demand interiors that can be easily reconfigured without disruptive construction work.

In this context, raised access flooring plays a strategic role by:

• Allowing fast adaptation of layouts

• Facilitating frequent technology upgrades

• Reducing downtime during reconfigurations

• Supporting long-term building performance

The OBO Offices project reflects this approach, prioritising flexibility as a core design principle.

GAMAFLOR PAC 30/05: A Versatile System for Open Office Environments

The GAMAFLOR PAC 30/05 system was selected for its balance of structural performance, modularity and accessibility. Installed without a finished surface, the system allowed the project team to apply self-laying carpet tiles adapted to the acoustic and aesthetic requirements of the workspace.

Key advantages of this solution include:

1. Full Underfloor Accessibility

Individual panels can be lifted to provide immediate access to power, data and HVAC services, simplifying maintenance and future modifications.

2. Modular Design for Open Spaces

The system supports open-plan configurations and allows work areas to be reorganised without structural intervention.

3. Structural Stability and Reliability

PAC 30/05 panels ensure consistent performance under continuous foot traffic and daily office use.

4. Design Freedom

The absence of a factory-applied finish enabled the seamless integration of self-laying carpet tiles, giving designers full control over the final aesthetic and acoustic performance.

Performance, Comfort and Efficiency

In office environments, flooring systems must contribute not only to technical performance but also to user comfort. Raised access floors combined with carpet finishes improve:

• Acoustic absorption

• Walking comfort

• Thermal perception

At the same time, they support efficient building management by reducing the need for invasive interventions when systems evolve.

A Future-Ready Office in a Demanding Urban Context

Located in Monaco, a market known for high standards in construction quality and design, the OBO Offices project demonstrates how raised access flooring can support flexible, high-performance workspaces without compromising architectural intent.

By integrating GAMAFLOR PAC 30/05, the building is prepared to adapt to future technological requirements and changing workplace strategies, extending its functional lifecycle.

Supporting Office Projects with Proven Technology

At Polygroup, we design raised access floor systems that respond to the real demands of contemporary office architecture—flexibility, reliability and long-term value.

The OBO Offices project is a clear example of how the right technical solution enables open, adaptable and efficient work environments.
