We design the acoustics of buildings and spaces to ensure that the sound environment supports their intended use in the best possible way.
With space-specific acoustic solutions, we ensure, for example, clear and intelligible speech in lecture halls or a soundscape that supports concentration in open-plan offices – leading to improved learning outcomes, greater workplace satisfaction, and enhanced productivity.
You will get a multidisciplinary team of top-tier acoustic experts and cutting-edge technologies, representing the leading expertise in Finland.
"Carefully designed acoustic environments improve usability and user satisfaction."
Acoustic design for new buildings
Our acoustic design, grounded in the latest research and technologies, enhances the usability of spaces, increases comfort, boosts efficiency, and strengthens user satisfaction with the sound environment.
In new construction, acoustics is especially important in cultural buildings, arenas, educational institutions, hospitals, commercial premises, hotels, residential buildings, timber structures, and sports facilities.
We join your project as acoustic and vibration experts from the early planning stages, enabling cost-effective noise and vibration control through massing strategies and structural choices.
We also reduce noise in residential buildings that include shared-use spaces such as gyms, shops, or other commercial facilities through tailored acoustic solutions.
Acoustic design in renovation projects
Historic or heritage buildings were not always originally designed for functions that require sound insulation or good room acoustics. However, most issues can be resolved through acoustic condition assessments and acoustic measurements.
A change in building use often presents exceptional acoustic challenges. For example, when an old industrial building is converted into apartments or office space, the new function must meet current regulations and acoustic performance targets.
Our acoustic experts design purpose-driven sound environments for both change-of-use and major renovation projects, optimizing solutions that improve the acoustic quality of your spaces.
Comprehensive acoustic solutions from one partner
We design building acoustics as an integrated whole – combining sound insulation, room acoustics, noise control, and vibration isolation to create optimal sound environments.
- Room acoustics concerned with the audibility and clarity of speech and music, room acoustics examines how sound reflects, absorbs, spreads, and scatters within a space.
- Sound insulation reduces the transmission of speech and music between rooms and dampens impact noise through structures. Effective sound insulation ensures privacy in consultation rooms, meeting spaces, and residential buildings.
- Noise control minimizes the spread of traffic and environmental noise, and reduces sound generated by building systems and technical equipment.
- Vibration and structure-borne noise isolation isolates rotating and moving equipment from the building structure or from vibrating ground –such as near railways – to prevent the transmission of vibration and structure-borne noise. Read more: Noise and vibration control
