Private Zone at ČSOB
Silence, trust and professional comfort
In one of ČSOB’s branches, a private zone was created consisting of eight SUMMIT acoustic pods in 4- and 6-person configurations. These spaces are primarily used for meetings with premium clients.
Branch employees particularly appreciate:
-
discretion when discussing sensitive topics,
-
silence and acoustic comfort that enable full concentration,
-
separation from the open-office environment without being isolated from the team.
The pods are not perceived as a technical add-on, but as a natural part of client service — a space where trust is built.
SUMMIT as a Meeting Room Alternative
The SUMMIT acoustic pod serves as a fully-fledged alternative to a traditional meeting room, offering significantly greater flexibility. It requires no construction work, is not permanently fixed to a single layout and allows for future spatial reconfiguration. If the branch’s needs change over time, the pods can be relocated, added to or rearranged without committing the bank to one fixed layout for years to come.
SUMMIT is available in multiple size options according to team needs (for 4–8 people).
Technology that supports calm and focus
Comfort and environmental quality inside SUMMIT pods are based on a combination of key elements:
-
Spectrasol natural lighting – a light spectrum close to daylight supports alertness and reduces fatigue during longer meetings.
-
Efficient ventilation – a steady supply of fresh air even at full occupancy, without the feeling of a stuffy space.
-
Control panel – individual adjustment of lighting and ventilation according to user preferences.
-
Occupancy indicator – a clear visual signal (red when in use) ensuring uninterrupted meetings.
-
Booking system integration – transparent planning and efficient use of space.
Technology is not used for effect, but to create conditions in which people can focus and feel comfortable.
Discretion that remains flexible
Premium banking requires calm and privacy, while also demanding flexibility and efficient use of space. SUMMIT makes it possible to maintain an open-office character, complement it with premium quiet spaces, and adapt to change without costly construction work.
The ČSOB case demonstrates how SilentLab helps transform open-office environments into truly private and representative setting for demanding clients — not by building walls, but through a thoughtfully designed office ecosystem.
Here, SUMMIT is more than just a room. It is a strategic tool that enables banks to deliver services at the level their clients expect — today and in the future.
