Author: [Generated for academic purposes] Date: April 2026 Publication Type: Review Paper / Technical Analysis Abstract The increasing demand for spatial flexibility, driven by hybrid work models, adaptive reuse of buildings, and circular economy principles, has elevated the role of mobile interior walls ( mobiele binnenwanden ) from a niche acoustic solution to a core architectural strategy. This paper provides a systematic analysis of movable partition wall systems, examining their typologies, material composition, acoustic performance (Rw values), structural mechanics, and compliance with European (EN) and Dutch (Bouwbesluit) building standards. Through case studies of office landscapes and educational facilities in the Netherlands, the paper demonstrates that high-performance mobile walls can achieve sound insulation comparable to fixed gypsum block walls (Rw up to 52 dB) while enabling real-time spatial reconfiguration. The paper concludes that integrating mobile walls at the design stage reduces whole-life carbon emissions by up to 35% compared to demolition and rebuild cycles. mobiele binnenwanden
