Acoustic Optimisation for Interiors

Interior acoustic design that controls noise and reverberation while keeping the atmosphere a space needs, from restaurants and offices to theatres and home cinemas.

Interiors That Sound as Good as They Look

Modern interiors often move away from soft furnishings towards hard, minimal finishes. That can look great, but noise levels can get out of control. We help find the balance between comfort, atmosphere and aesthetics, so a space works for the people using it.

Restaurants and Hospitality

In a loud restaurant, diners struggle to talk across the table, people with some hearing loss can feel isolated, and staff find it tiring and hard to hear orders. A room with no noise at all has no atmosphere either. We design treatments that keep a space vibrant without letting the din take over.

Offices, Theatres and Home Cinemas

We have completed low-noise mechanical services designs for theatres, office fitouts and telepresence rooms. In offices, we take a holistic approach: making a room quieter can reduce speech privacy between neighbouring spaces, so we design interior noise levels to avoid the cost of masking systems and extra duct attenuation.

For purpose-built home theatres, we recommend building materials for sound insulation to adjoining rooms and use acoustic software such as EASE to calculate room modes and design acoustic treatment for the best listening experience.
