Architectural acoustics

What Are Architectural Acoustics?

Architectural acoustics focuses on how sound behaves in built environments. It involves managing reverberation, noise transmission, and speech intelligibility through smart design choices and materials. At Akomo, we approach architectural acoustics not only from a technical angle but also with a strong design sensibility.

Is the acoustic ‘feeling’ right?

We expect a good balanced sound effect when we go to a concert hall, opera house or Church. These buildings have been specifically designed to maximise the acoustic effect and to give a pleasing experience when listening to music, singing or recitals.

The Akomo Approach to Acoustic Design

We create architectural acoustic solutions that integrate seamlessly into the aesthetics of a space. Our products combine:

• High-performance acoustic foam (like Basotect®)
  
• Design-driven forms developed in close collaboration with architects
• Lighting functionality, offering dual-purpose fixtures for both sound absorption and illumination

The result is a holistic acoustic environment that looks as good as it sounds.

Applications of Architectural Acoustics

Our acoustic elements are used in:

• Corporate interiors & open-plan offices
  
• Hospitality: hotels, lobbies, restaurants
  
• Cultural spaces: museums, galleries, performance venues
  
• Educational institutions & public buildings
  

Whether the goal is privacy, clarity, or calm, Akomo delivers discreet acoustic enhancements without compromising the architectural vision.

Engineered to Perform

All solutions are developed using acoustic simulations and real-world testing. We advise on reverberation time targets, material use, and placement—ensuring measurable acoustic improvements with visual harmony.
