High ambition
Soft Cells Broadline panels by Kvadrat Acoustics are installed throughout the offices of a real estate company. As the premises are on the 31st floor, and the six metre-long panels were too large for the service elevators, they were assembled on-site – a first for Kvadrat Acoustics in Asia.
The acoustic solution comprising Soft Cells Broadline panels ensure that, despite the presence of large glass windows, the offices combine a beautiful aesthetic with excellent acoustic properties. The acoustic panels are specified on the walls of gallery spaces, lounges, meeting rooms and a multifunction room. Soft Cells panels are also installed on corridor ceilings.
Local production teams were set up to make on-site assembly possible. Furthermore, customised brackets that link the profiles together were created at the building, in order to facilitate a seamless installation process.
