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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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, […]

Part 3 in our Acoustic Solutions series By now, we’ve looked at the science of sound and why acoustic comfort is critical in commercial interiors.

Designers and specifiers are faced with an overwhelming number of acoustic product choices — panels, baffles, rafts, partitions, curtains, ceiling […]
