Designer Acoustic Panels for an Office

Executive Summary

Returning clients contacted DECIBEL with the need to enhance the acoustics in two meeting and interview rooms situated in the office's entryway. Having collaborated with DECIBEL on previous occasions, the client sought to infuse acoustic functionality and design flair into the newly renovated rooms. Despite the small size, these rooms posed acoustic challenges during calls and interviews. To address this, DECIBEL designed and produced 200 custom small triangles, following the client's specifications and colour preferences. Overcoming the challenge of producing handmade, small acoustic panels, DECIBEL successfully delivered a solution that not only met the acoustic needs but also added a unique design element to the daily-use rooms.

Scope of Work

• Acoustic treatment of meeting and interview rooms
• Design and production of custom small triangles based on client specifications
• Collaboration on layout design, colour combinations, and spectrum for each room
• Iterative design process to finalise the client's vision
• Production and installation of 200 triangles

Challenge

The challenge was producing small triangles that met both acoustic requirements and the client's design preferences. The handmade nature of the panels, combined with the small size, presented logistical and manufacturing hurdles.

Solution

To ensure the project's perfection, DECIBEL opted for a strategic approach. Collaborative design sessions with the client allowed for accommodation of their wishes regarding layout, colour combinations, and spectrum. Through an iterative design process, 200 small triangles were produced, each following the company's colour combinations and meeting the specific requirements of each room. These custom small triangles were utilised as a crucial element in solving the acoustic issues in the meeting and interview rooms.

Result

The 200 custom small triangles not only met the acoustic needs of the meeting and interview rooms but also added a unique design element. The client now enjoys daily use of these rooms with exceptional acoustic quality, demonstrating the successful integration of functionality and bespoke design.

This project highlights DECIBEL's commitment to delivering tailored acoustic solutions that seamlessly blend with the client's aesthetic preferences and overcome unique challenges.
