The solution
The user experience, consistency and scalability were core drivers for the design process. The new office consists of a full suite of Microsoft Teams Room solutions, advanced AV systems and digital signage across multiple spaces, from standard meeting rooms to executive signature rooms and large-scale town hall setups. This brings EDF’s vision for its new office to life through custom solutions that balance high-end performance with everyday usability.
Kinly designed and delivered 15 Microsoft Teams rooms (MTRs), deployed across various room sizes using Logitech TAP for intuitive control and seamless Teams integration. In addition, 7 MTRs featuring Logitech Sight were used for intelligent AI-driven audio and video framing, creating a more inclusive hybrid meeting experience.
We also integrated a multipurpose boardroom, a highly flexible space designed to support a range of meeting styles including executive boardroom sessions and town hall-style presentations. The boardroom is equipped with Logitech TAP for MTR control, 6 Q-SYS cameras featuring Q-SYS control integration for adaptable room management and Shure audio to deliver crystal clear sound. In boardroom mode, the space operates automatic camera preset recall (ACPR) to actively identify the individual speaking while providing a clear view for remote participants.
The multi-camera allows for seamless switching to the next speaker without the far end participants needing to see any physical camera movement. The space also operates as a mini town hall, where all furniture can be removed and rows of seating are placed facing the display or presenter. In this scenario, the ceiling camera is activated to face the presenter. There is also the option of utilising handheld microphones to isolate audio.
The town hall space is created for high-impact, company-wide presentations. It features an impressive 108-inch Absen LED display for maximum visibility. It also includes a Logitech TAP, 2 Q-SYS cameras for the presenter and audience, Q-SYS control and Shure microphones to deliver a seamless experience for both in-room and remote audiences. The space can be driven via the touch panel with a custom user interface in line with EDF’s branding. Day to day, the screen is utilised for digital signage from the OneMedia Signage Platform and can easily switch to become a MTR at the click of a button.
To optimise hybrid collaboration, we also designed and integrated a Microsoft Signature Room fitted with a 105-inch 21:9 Jupiter display, as well as 3 Q-SYS cameras for intelligent video switching and Shure audio for clear and natural sound.
For enhanced communication, collaboration and culture, digital signage was installed in the reception area and across the office floor. The reception itself features an additional 108-inch Absen LED screen, delivering impactful welcome and brand messaging. Across the office floor, a selection of Sony displays were used for internal communications. All displays run on the OneMedia Platform via a single media player for easy and effective content management.
To make the most of the unique areas in the new build, Kinly and EDF stakeholders collaborated closely through consultative workshops and design sessions to fully understand both user and space requirements. Kinly and EDF’s long-standing partnership helped uncover exactly how each space could be used, what each user journey would look like and why quality, ease of use and integration were crucial.
