Office and Commercial Development Acoustics

Modern office and commercial developments require careful acoustic design to support productivity, privacy and occupant comfort.

Open plan areas, cellular offices, conference suites and break-out spaces all have different acoustic demands, and getting the balance right at design stage avoids costly remediation later.

Spectrum works with architects, interior designers and fit-out contractors to resolve acoustic privacy between offices and meeting rooms, control reverberation in communal areas and atria, and ensure mechanical services noise remains within acceptable limits.

Using 3D acoustic modelling tools such as Odeon, we help design teams predict performance early and avoid costly remedial measures post-installation.

Whether you are designing a new headquarters, fitting out a hybrid workspace or converting existing commercial stock, we provide the technical clarity your project team needs.

A guide to the Acoustic Design of Offices is also available in the Downloads section of our website.
