Project Overview
A music enthusiast approached DECIBEL to enhance the acoustics of their living room, aiming to minimise sound reflections and create an optimal listening experience. Balancing acoustic performance with aesthetics, DECIBEL designed and implemented a solution that catered to the client’s preferences, focusing initially on the wall behind the speakers while leaving room for future improvements.
Scope of Work
- Client Consultation: Discussed acoustic needs and preferences for the living room space.
- Acoustic Simulations: Conducted detailed simulations to understand the space’s acoustic challenges.
- Collaborative Planning: Worked closely with the client to select materials and decide on treatment areas.
- Phased Approach:
- Stage One: Focused on treating the wall behind the speakers with wooden panels.
- Stage Two (Future): A planned potential treatment for the ceiling and dining area.
- Visualisation: Presented design proposals to align with the client’s aesthetic vision.
- Production and Installation: Crafted and installed WAVO white wooden panels tailored for sound absorption and style.
Challenge
The challenge was to optimise the acoustics of a shared living and dining area while maintaining its visual harmony. Balancing functionality and aesthetics required careful planning and innovative design.
Solution
DECIBEL recommended WAVO white wooden panels for their superior sound absorption and sleek design. By addressing the wall behind the speakers in the initial stage, the team achieved significant acoustic improvement while preserving the room’s aesthetic. The phased treatment approach ensured flexibility for future enhancements without disrupting the existing design.
Result
The first stage of treatment delivered exceptional results, significantly improving the acoustic quality of the living room. The stylish wooden panels seamlessly integrated into the space, aligning with the client’s aesthetic vision. The client expressed satisfaction with the enhanced listening experience and looks forward to stage two, which will further refine the room’s acoustics.
