Acoustic design of a corporate lobby area: the importance of sound-absorbing panels

Lobby areas located at the entrances to offices, headquarters of multinational corporations and institutions are large multifunctional spaces that accommodate reception, accreditation, waiting, co-working and dining services. A crucial aspect in their design is acoustic comfort. Indeed, these lobbies have to cope with various acoustic problems resulting from multiple noise sources: the speech of people in transit, background noise from the dining areas and reverberations generated by the large size and typical high ceilings of these spaces.

Sound-absorbing panels: the effective acoustic solution

 

To solve these critical acoustic issues, the installation of Caruso Acoustic sound-absorbing panels is an effective and versatile solution. These elements, such as the Silente, Dot and Flag, Kubo and Sail panels, available in different sizes and applications, can be easily installed on walls and/or ceilings, helping to absorb sound waves and reduce reverberation times. Acoustic correction can also include freestanding sound-absorbing solutions, such as the Menhir totems and the D-space partition panels, which serve as furnishing elements that can be repositioned as required.

Design and customisation for optimal acoustics

 

Caruso Acoustic’s sound-absorbing panels can integrate LED lighting systems, combining acoustic comfort, attractive design and functional lighting. The wide range of finishes, including colours, prints and fabric covers, allows the panels to be customised to harmonise with the furnishing and décor of the corporate lobby.

Optimised acoustics will help make these spaces welcoming and comfortable, reflecting the image of excellence that the company seeks to convey.
