Aiming high towards better Acoustics

Glen Hamilton from Nexus architecture – understanding the importance of adaptive learning – designed the central, open-plan communal space for students to gather and collaborate. However, as with all large share spaces, the acoustic concerns needed to be addressed. In this case, the floor provided the perfect opportunity for acoustic treatment. Acoufelt’s range of acoustic carpet tiles provided a smart alternative to traditional floor coverings, also complementing the vibrant furnishings of the interior. The ‘Flinders’ collection in colorway ‘Ikara Place’ was selected for its seamless pattern and neutral textures, installed in a monolithic pattern throughout the open area. Boasting an NRC 0.35, this carpet tile was able to provide excellent acoustic performance in this spacious open-plan environment.
