This project was the acoustic design of an open office in a cultural and creative industrial park. The space adopted a popular bare-top industrial style, with concrete walls and exposed pipes, resulting in obvious reverberation and echo problems. The creative team had high requirements for both the original industrial aesthetic and a quiet and comfortable office acoustic environment.
After comprehensive comparison, wood wool acoustic panels were selected as the main ceiling and partial wall acoustic material. Made of natural wood fiber and cement binder, the panels have a unique rough matte texture, which is highly compatible with the industrial, retro and original ecological design style of the creative park. There is no need for additional paint or decoration after installation, which retains the original rough texture of the space to the greatest extent. In terms of acoustic performance, the open fiber structure achieves an NRC of 0.80–0.90, which effectively reduces the reverberation caused by conversations and equipment sounds in the open office area.
In addition, the panels have Class A fire resistance and excellent moisture resistance, which can maintain stable performance in the semi-open bare-top space. After the project was completed, the office retained a strong industrial design atmosphere, while the overall acoustic environment was significantly improved. Employees reported that the sense of echo was weakened, the concentration was improved, and the dual needs of design aesthetics and acoustic comfort were perfectly balanced.
