Commercial
Commercial developments which include significant areas of open
and cellular office space demand attention to acoustic detail
at the design and fit-out stage of the project.
Whilst
some consideration has to be given to issues of noise from the
mechanical services radiating into the environment and
entering the office spaces themselves, the most demanding acoustic
issues arise in ensuring the right conditions for office users.
In particular there is a need for acoustic privacy between workstations
to be considered in open plan areas through the selection and
optimum location of screens. Reverberation and noise control
is also necessary in break-out areas and atria using, for example,
banners and patched absorption.
Then there is the common problem of poor
sound insulation between adjoining private offices. Spectrum
work closely with clients, architects, interiors designers and
fit-out contractors. We help select the right partition
system and the right ceiling system so that the installers can
fit systems easily and quickly knowing that the acoustic
results will suit the users' needs.
One of the highest performing spaces in modern offices will
be the Video Conferencing Suite. Spectrum are supporting Hewlett
Packard in their worldwide roll-out of HALO® facilities.
Other projects include:
- Exxon-Mobil
HQ, London
- Citibank, London
- Peldon Rose office fit-outs, London
- Maris Interiors office fit-outs, London
- HP HALO suites throughout Europe

Crown Place, London EC2 |

This important signature building in
the City of London was designed by Horden Cherry Lee. It
posed Spectrum, as Design and Build Contractor Skanska’s
acoustic consultant, particular challenges with the acoustic
characteristics of the curtain walling system.
