Challenge: Gibson Architects faced acoustic challenges within their boardroom and office environments. The open-plan design and hard surfaces resulted in excessive noise reverberation, leading to reduced speech intelligibility and an overall disruptive atmosphere during meetings and work sessions.

Solution: To address the acoustic concerns, Gibson Architects collaborated with Brisbane Acoustics, a renowned acoustic solutions provider. After a thorough assessment, Brisbane Acoustics installed Autex Acoustics’ 12mm Cube panels with a custom-printed design of the Ipswich region selected by Gibson Architects. The Autex Acoustics Cube panels are known for their sound-absorption capabilities, making them an ideal solution for improving the acoustic quality of the spaces.

Implementation: Brisbane Acoustics meticulously executed the installation process, ensuring minimal disruption to Gibson Architects’ operations. The installation team strategically placed the Autex Acoustics Cube panels on the walls of the boardroom and selected office near the entry of the building. The custom print of the Ipswich region on the panels added a unique and aesthetically pleasing touch, seamlessly integrating the acoustic solution with the overall interior design.

Results: The installation of the Autex Acoustics Cube panels yielded remarkable results for Gibson Architects:

1. Improved Acoustic Environment: The panels effectively reduced noise reverberation and absorbed excess sound, creating a more comfortable and focused working atmosphere. Meetings and discussions are now more intelligible, enhancing overall communication.
2. Visual Enhancement: The custom print of the Ipswich region not only contributed to the acoustics but also acted as a visually engaging element. The panels transformed from mere functional additions to artistic features, adding character to the spaces.
3. Enhanced Productivity: With the reduction in noise distractions, employees experienced improved concentration levels and better productivity. The enhanced acoustics created an environment conducive to creative thinking and collaboration.
4. Client Impressions: Clients visiting the boardroom were impressed by both the improved acoustics and the innovative use of the custom-printed panels. The unique design showcased Gibson Architects’ attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Conclusion: The partnership between Gibson Architects and Brisbane Acoustics resulted in a successful acoustic panel installation using Autex Acoustics 12mm Cube panels. The custom print of the Ipswich region not only addressed the acoustic challenges but also added a personalized and visually appealing element to the spaces. The project’s success showcased Brisbane Acoustics’ expertise in acoustic solutions and their ability to seamlessly integrate functionality with design aesthetics. Gibson Architects now enjoys an acoustically optimized environment that fosters better communication, productivity, and client engagement.
