Design for the Space
Services include Room Acoustics; Sound Isolation; Noise and Vibration Control of Building Systems in all phases of planning and design through construction and post-occupancy. We provide programming, acoustics feasibility studies, modeling, measurement, and fine tuning for spaces where sound matters.
Room Acoustics
Room Acoustics is the shaping of rooms and the detailing of their finishes, in close collaboration with the architect, to create acoustic environments that support the activities that occur in those rooms. One of the greatest values we offer is our balanced judgment, developed over hundreds of projects, which allows us to weigh competing requirements while making the best use of available funds. We prefer to be involved in the design process from initial programming through final acoustic tuning.
Noise/Vibration Control
Noise/Vibration Control is the design of mechanical systems to provide comfortable, well-balanced levels of background noise, free of rumble, whoosh, hiss, and tonal noise. We work closely with the mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers, establishing space-by-space noise criteria, providing design guidelines for the engineers’ use, and developing acoustically appropriate system concepts, equipment locations, and layouts of duct, pipe and conduit runs.
Sound Isolation
Sound Isolation is the design of walls, windows, doors and floor/ceiling assemblies to control sound bleed from the exterior and from other spaces within the building. Our goal is to allow all spaces in the building to function simultaneously without disturbing each other by using space planning, structural separation and special assemblies.
