Today’s office is no longer a static environment. Businesses are evolving fast — and so are their spatial needs. From hybrid work models to dynamic teams and ever-shifting priorities, the modern workplace needs to do more with less, often in the same footprint. Enter: the agile office. An agile workspace is one that adapts quickly […]

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 […]

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. But how do you apply that understanding to real-world projects? Designers and specifiers are faced with an overwhelming number of acoustic product choices — panels, baffles, rafts, partitions, curtains, ceiling […]

Green Solutions for Workspaces In an era where environmental responsibility shapes every industry, sustainable office design is no longer a trend, it’s a necessity. From the materials used in construction and fit-out to the lighting and acoustics shaping the workspace, every choice impacts a building’s ecological footprint. At ekko acoustics, we believe great design should […]

Great acoustic design begins with understanding how sound behaves. In a commercial interior, sound doesn’t travel in neat, predictable paths. It reflects off hard surfaces, gets trapped in corners, and lingers in open spaces. The materials, layout, and purpose of a space all shape how it sounds — and how it feels. We hear sound […]

How we work has always influenced how we design the spaces we work in. From the rigid, linear layouts of the early 20th century to today’s hybrid, wellness-oriented environments, office design has continuously evolved in response to shifts in culture, technology, and business needs. At ekko Acoustics, we design acoustic solutions that complement modern working […]

In many commercial interiors, acoustics are still an afterthought. The finishes look great, the lighting is on trend, the layout is open and inviting, yet something feels off. There’s a hum of background noise that won’t disappear, conversations become tiring, and people struggle to concentrate. That “something” is usually sound. At ekko Acoustics, we help […]

Why bringing nature into the workplace is more than just a trend In recent years, biophilic design has emerged as a powerful force in shaping modern office environments. With more organisations recognising the link between well-being, productivity and the workplace, designers are turning to nature for inspiration. At ekko Acoustics, we’ve seen first-hand how acoustic […]

In commercial interiors, much has been said about lighting, layout, and materials – but sound remains one of the most overlooked elements in workplace design. Yet growing research confirms that acoustic comfort directly impacts employee well-being, focus, and job satisfaction. As designers shape spaces to support hybrid working, collaboration, and neurodiversity, acoustics must be part […]
