Acoustics
The acoustics of an environment are as important to the comfort of building occupants as the temperature or light level. We provide analysis and design advice to ensure that the acoustics within spaces are appropriate for their use.
The scope of our input is tailored to the requirements of each project. From providing limited strategic advice, to a full assessment of all spaces and appropriate materials together with a watching brief throughout the design and construction phases.
Our work is based on an in-depth understanding of buildings and the details that can make or break the acoustic performance of an element. We provide creative solutions that function in sympathy with the building and avoid unnecessary acoustic treatment, rather than to impose standard solutions that do not.
