As an Interior Designer there are many elements involved in designing an aesthetically pleasing yet workable and practical space.

There are many factors to consider including those that you can’t even see and feel. Sound and reverberation in any space has a big impact in the design and is key to creating a space that works for the client.
My area of work includes office fit-outs and in this type of environment a well thought out acoustical space is very important to enhance employee productivity.
Companies that provide creative acoustic solutions, like Akustisol, are an invaluable tool for an Interior Designer. Their innovative and stylish sound absorbing products give the designer the ability to create an interesting space with as much or as little creativity as they desire.
Products like art work panels, lighting fixtures and meeting pods are a great way to add an acoustic solution as a design element itself.
The project pictured (above) was a small space used by a marketing company who needed sound to be absorbed as much as possible. The space was used by consumers who would test a product while the manufacturer would assess their findings by viewing through the one-way glass. It was very important to get the sound just right in this project, the baffles placed above the tables worked extremely well in this scheme and were unobtrusive.
The project shown In the header was an open plan office built in a space that had very high ceilings with concrete pillars all around. Applying carpet throughout, of course, made a great impact but there was still along way to go to create an acoustically sound working environment. We used baffles above the desks using the client’s brand colours and in the reception waiting area we wanted the space to feel a little more intimate with the feeling of lower ceilings. The panels were a perfect solution to create this feel.
