Acoustic treatment a stunning, sculptural feature
Located across four floors, the sleek corporate paradise centres around a grand ‘breakout space’—a glass and marble-clad oasis where staff can host casual meetings, relax and unwind, and socialise. As staff wellbeing was front of mind throughout the design and planning stages, the acoustics of the breakout space were crucial. Reverberation and echo cause stress and fatigue—and in spaces with extensive hard, reflective surfaces such as marble and glass—these symptoms are exemplified. Noting that the space has capacity for over 300 people, Gray Puksand knew that, if left un-treated, the room would become a chaotic echo chamber.
