The ChallengeIntegrating acoustic performance into the architecture of a retail space

Acoufelt collaborated with the project team to deliver a custom modular wall system, integrating acoustic performance within the architectural expression of the space.

The SOLUTIONAcoustic felt in Turmeric, lining a modular wall system

The system was developed as a series of repeatable vertical modules, constructed from a galvanized steel frame and lined with acoustic felt in a saturated Turmeric tone. The contrast between the soft felt finish and the precise structural framework creates a visually striking yet controlled backdrop for the retail environment.

Each module incorporates shelving, mirror integration, and allowances for recessed lighting, enabling a seamless alignment between functional display requirements and the overall design intent.

A modular approach allowed for consistency across varying heights and stepped conditions throughout the tenancy, supporting both efficient installation and the level of precision required by the design.

The RESULTBold design, spatial comfort

The result is a highly resolved retail space where acoustic treatment is embedded within a bold and cohesive material language, contributing to both the visual identity and overall spatial comfort.
