WoodBeQuiet™ acoustic ceiling planks add sophistication to the rich, elegant textures and tones of Kilcoy Global Foods new Queensland Hub.
Amicus interiors were brought on board for Kilcoy Global Foods’ new venture to integrate an exhibition and kitchen showrooms into their new experience centre ‘The Hub’. The design intention for The Hub was to simulate best practice in food service and retail testing facilities, allowing Kilcoy to take chefs, retailers, and international customers on an immersive food journey from paddock to plate. This would require incorporating casual and boardroom dining, a bar, freezer, wash and dry room, and a full theatre kitchen into the space, whilst preserving the esteemed Kilcoy brand image.
Sophie Shennan, Senior Interior Designer at Amicus, stated they were looking to highlight the beauty of high-quality food within a “rich, masculine and contemporary” interior. The interior style took influence from a “rural country paddock setting”, created utilizing natural textures of warm, handcrafted solid timber tables and rustic dark hardwood timber floors.
Acoufelt’s WoodBeQuiet™ acoustic ceiling planks slotted perfectly into the brief, complementing the rural aesthetic, while adding an element of acoustic functionality to the space.
Selected in color ‘Barn Door’, WoodBeQuiet™ ceiling planks were installed directly above the main boardroom table. Achieving a Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 0.45, the acoustic properties of the WoodBeQuiet™ product will aid in absorbing excess noise for improved communication, focus and privacy; a benefit to all employees and users of the space.
