Overview
A headquarters for a design-led investment firm, built on the premise that quiet is a luxury.
Blackened steel frames define territory without walls; felt does the rest.
Design challenges
- 01An open floorplate with a 2.9-second reverberation time.
- 02Forty people, six meeting typologies, one floor.
- 03A brand that refused anything that read as 'tech office'.
Final outcome
Reverberation reduced to 0.6 seconds without a single suspended ceiling tile. Post-occupancy surveys reported a 41% improvement in perceived focus.
Materials used
- Blackened mild steel
- Wool felt acoustic panels
- American walnut, quarter-sawn
- Honed concrete
- Antique brass pendants
Client feedback
“Clients walk in and lower their voices. That was the whole brief.”
