Adaptability means everything in today’s workplace climate. Zenith has crafted the ideal flexible space with the Precinct range: creating spaces within spaces.
April 6th, 2023
Embracing hybrid work has forever changed the landscape of professional design. Now, the modern workplace demands versatility, connection and adaptability. In essence, workspaces today have become progressive precincts capable of supporting in-office, remote and on-the-go workforce structures.
Of course, the biggest challenge these structures face is the need to connect. How to ensure that a network can thrive in the face of a multitude of constraints – not only on time and understanding, but on physicality?

Understanding this need was the key to Zenith’s development of the Precinct range, now celebrating its third release. The Precinct collection provides the framework for a flourishing hub of interconnected networks, capable of supporting independent and shared activities.
The Precinct collection, with the tagline of ‘spaces within spaces,’ is a series of individual elements which offer complete spatial fluidity. The collection addresses all singular and collective workplace needs with ease, spanning a multitude of pieces which includes lounge modules, ottomans, work pods and screens.

The Precinct Pod is an acoustic panelled system designed for infinite workplace modularity. The space can be transformed instantly from a bookable desk for the typical hybrid worker to an enclosed retreat for an online meeting. Agile, insightful and adaptive, the Precinct Pod is informed by the latest ergonomic research and offers 3 new shapes which can stand alone or in configurable clusters.
With fixed height or height adjustable worktops, configurable lounge and ottoman modules, and countless combinations of work pods and screens, the Precinct Pod has become the ‘go-to’ choice for organisations in need of flexible workspaces. The integration of technology is seamless and all Precinct Pods are compatible with Floorsense; the innovative desk and hub reservation system which can make booking, check-in and power-use tracking virtually effortless.

The Precinct Pod has been used to create adaptive workplace neighbourhoods since its initial release, featuring in a number of ground-breaking offices around the world. QBE Parramatta, 2Degrees in Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Quayside in Hong Kong have all turned to the Precinct Pod to help build their flexible yet interconnected workspaces.
Innovations like the Precinct Pod are without a doubt the way of the future. Learn more about the evolution of workplace design and the emerging technologies behind it with Zenith.
