Architectural acoustic design involves the careful shaping of walls and ceiling and the selection and placement of acoustical materials to optimize and enhance the sonic environment.

Whether it is a performing arts center or a school, a museum or office space, or anything in between, we can analyze noise and vibration from the M.E.P. systems to not only meet building code and LEED requirements, but we have the sensitivity to design your space and the M.E.P. systems so that it provides an atmosphere for quiet, rest, and repose and does not interfere with the normal usage of the space.

From firing ranges, to mining, to theme park rides and transportation, we model and design expertly crafted and creative acoustical interventions to reduce and buffer undesirable sounds.

We work with Planners, Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Owners, the public and governments to help master plan and execute these noise mitigation designs to provide the utmost consideration for all parties involved and to meet any applicable noise ordinances.

Having trouble with sound bleed from one space into another?  Or maybe it’s from sound outside the building disturbing occupants inside. We provide acoustical analysis and design construction assemblies to reduce these bothersome occurrences in existing buildings or in buildings being designed.

• Design assemblies to meet building code, LEED, FGI guidelines and other standards or requirements.
• Selection of building assemblies to minimize acoustic interference
• Strategically analyze the space planning to determine where difficult adjacencies may be.
• Develop assemblies that will help reduce sound bleed.

We do field testing to verify acoustical performance of building assemblies, including IIC, STC, Reverberation Time, reflected sound energy/impulse response, background noise (NC, RC, etc), Sound Transmission Index (STI and STIPA), sound system coverage, frequency response and delay testing, among others.

We have all the equipment to perform these tests to the latest standards and we are involved in the technical committees that formulate these standards so we stay at the cutting edge in our field.

Whether you are looking to replace an existing  system or to include a new system in the design of a new space, we are experts at integrating the latest in technological advances with the design.

We integrate the sound system design with the acoustical finishes and shaping to provide a cohesive, easy to use interface controls, and cost effective equipment selection integrated system that enhances and compliments the room.
