Demountable walls could be ahidden solution to office design and floor plan flexibility. Thissolution is often overlooked, according to ChristopherMojo, the firm's architectural product specialist atTangram Interiors, who has used demountable wallsin several office design projects; however, this can be animportant element in an office space and have multiple uses.

“Walls are an often overlooked, yet vital, element in theoverall scheme of interior environments from both a structural anddesign perspective. However, rather than treating them solely asspatial dividers, they deserve as much care and attention as anyother design element of a project,” Mojo tells GlobeSt.com. “Onesolution to this oversight that offers significant advantages overstandard construction is demountable walls. These solutions have awide range of applications, especially in the rapid adoption ofopen and modular workspaces, by offering the flexibility to adaptto changing requirements easily over time. Whether you have a needto expand or contract spaces to meet future growth requirements,host technology for everyday business functions, or just finishyour space with a beautifully intentional engineered system,demountable walls provide multiple benefits over standard drywallconstruction.”

This is a new trend in the US, but it is catching steam,especially on the East Coast. “Interest in demountable wall systemsreally originated in European markets before crossing the Atlanticand establishing a foothold on the East Coast, with a primarymarketplace in New York,” explains Mojo. “Over the past few yearshowever that trend has made its way to the opposite coast and weare now seeing more and more design firms and general contractorsbecoming educated on the benefits these systems provide andtherefore specifying them on major design-focused projects.Architects are attracted to the precision and elevated aestheticmany demountable systems provide, while General Contractors benefitfrom the shortened installation times required.”
