At ekko acoustics, we’ve been tracking what’s really happening on the ground, and here’s what’s emerging. Acoustics […]

Incorporating Brand Identity into Office Design

In a world where businesses compete not only for customers but also for talent, an office is more than a place to work; it’s a physical expression of a company’s culture, values, and creativity. The most memorable workplaces are those that seamlessly blend brand identity into their design, creating spaces that feel authentic, inspiring, and […]

Choosing the Right Acoustic Solutions for Different Sectors

No two spaces sound alike. A busy open-plan office doesn’t behave acoustically like a restaurant, and a classroom presents challenges that a retail store never will. That’s why there is no such thing as a “one size fits all” acoustic product. Each sector demands tailored solutions, chosen not just for their performance, but for how […]

The Role of Lighting in Modern Office Design

Lighting has always been central to the way we experience space. In modern office design, however, it plays a far more complex role than simply “making things visible.” Today, lighting is expected to enhance productivity, support employee wellbeing, align with sustainability goals, and even contribute to the acoustic performance of a space. When thoughtfully integrated, […]

Good design is measurable, and acoustic performance is no exception. In this instalment, we’ll explore the science behind acoustic standards, the role of reverberation time, and the measurable targets that designers and specifiers should […]

Today’s office is no longer a static environment. Businesses are evolving fast — and so are their spatial needs.

An agile workspace is one that adapts quickly […]

Acoustic Materials Explained – Felt, Timber, Cork and the New Language of Quiet Design

Part 4 in our Acoustic Solutions series Designing for sound isn’t just about where you place panels — it’s about what they’re made from. The materials used in acoustic products have a profound impact not only on how they perform, but how they look, feel, and age over time. In commercial interiors, where performance has […]

Wellness-Centric Office Design: Creating Spaces That Care for Employees

The conversation around office design has shifted. No longer is it just about desks, breakout areas, and where to put the coffee machine. Increasingly, businesses are recognising that the design of their workplace has a tangible effect on how people feel — and that employee wellbeing isn’t a nice-to-have, it’s a necessity. At ekko acoustics, […]

But how do you apply that understanding to real-world projects?
