Solution
Soft Cells Broadline panels by Kvadrat Acoustics were chosen as the acoustic ceiling solution, as they allow easy access to all the service channels behind the panels. Furthermore, Kvadrat Acoustics solutions are in line with the sustainability requirements and goals for Masdar Institute, which are higher than average.
"We liked the idea of a complete system that provides visual satisfaction and flexibility in one acoustic solution."
