OUR SERVICES
Acoustic Design and Isolation
Acoustic performance sits at the centre of every successful studio. Whether the requirement is speech, instruments or other sources, accurate monitoring, or high levels of isolation between sensitive spaces, the aim is to create rooms that support the intended use.
Our studio acoustic design and isolation work starts with an assessment of the building and the acoustic performance required. Isolation design considers sound transmission through the building fabric, flanking paths, junctions and building services, while internal acoustic design addresses room geometry, low frequency behaviour, early reflections and reverberation, with acoustic treatments developed around the intended use of each space.
What we deliver
We provide acoustic design and isolation services for new studios, existing facilities and early-stage feasibility. This includes assessment of the host building and constraints, isolation design, internal acoustic design and treatment specifications, background noise control, HVAC coordination and commissioning.
What this service covers
Feasibility and assessment. Review of the host building, constraints and likely achievable performance.
Isolation design. Isolation strategies and construction details addressing airborne and structure borne sound transmission, including flanking paths, junctions and service penetrations.
Internal acoustic design. Room geometry, modal behaviour, low frequency control, early reflections and reverberation, with treatment strategies developed around the intended use of each room.
Background noise and building services integration. Coordination of HVAC and other building services to address equipment noise, airflow, vibration and service penetrations against agreed acoustic performance criteria.
Commissioning and verification. Measurements of achieved isolation, background noise and reverberation, together with loudspeaker line-ups where applicable.
Integration with Studio Design and Build
This service can be delivered on its own, or integrated into our Studio Design and Build projects. Where integrated, acoustic, architectural and building services requirements are coordinated together so key details remain consistent from design through to installation, supporting reliable commissioning outcomes.
How we work
We begin by confirming the brief, existing building conditions and required acoustic performance. Site surveys, supported by structural and mechanical reviews where necessary, help establish the constraints and likely achievable performance.
We then develop room layouts, isolation details, internal acoustic design and treatment specifications, mechanical coordination and technical routes. These are coordinated with relevant architectural and structural drawings so that critical acoustic details can be constructed as intended.
During construction, we support the onsite team through workshops, drawing clarification and site inspections where required. At completion, commissioning checks and acoustic measurements are used to assess achieved performance against the agreed criteria.

Next steps
If you need acoustic design, isolation guidance or an assessment of a building’s suitability for studio use, we can review the premises, outline achievable performance levels and set out clear next steps.
