Challenge

As part of the redevelopment of former military barracks into a modern, functional space, architecture firm Arkedif faced a major challenge: delivering optimal acoustic performance across a large area spanning over three floors, while incorporating design features that bring character to the walkway areas and reflect the building’s identity.

Solutions

To meet these requirements, Arteck supplied more than 1,000 acoustic panels in several shades to ensure perfect acoustic optimisation and harmonious integration into the space. The solutions implemented include:

• Plafo-Ultrasound: these acoustic panels, installed on the ceiling, provide effective sound absorption while blending in perfectly with the overall aesthetics of the spaces.

• Chicago baffles: hung in the corridors, these red acoustic elements add a dynamic touch and act as imposing suspensions, giving a real architectural signature to the space.

These products demonstrate Arteck’s ability to offer high-performance acoustic solutions which satisfy technical constraints while enriching the visual identity of spaces.

Results

Thanks to the integration of these acoustic solutions, the Cobalt project now offers acoustically optimised spaces, providing greater acoustic comfort for occupants.

The Chicago baffles, in their distinctive red finish, bring energy to the corridors and create a bold design statement, reinforcing the identity of the space and showcasing Arteck’s ability to combine acoustic performance with striking aesthetics.
