„Architekci i projektanci skupiają się zazwyczaj na efekcie wizualnym. Czas, żebyśmy zaczęli projektować również dla naszych uszu.” — Julian Treasure Zdanie, które doskonale oddaje kierunek, w którym powinna dziś zmierzać świadoma architektura wnętrz. Całkowicie redefiniuje sposób myślenia o przestrzeni, bo wnętrza doświadczamy wielozmysłowo!

Strefy relaksu – nazywane chillout roomami, pokojami ciszy lub strefami regeneracji – stały się w ostatnich latach niemal obowiązkowym elementem nowoczesnych biur, hoteli, bibliotek i uczelni. Ich cel wydaje się prosty: umożliwić chwilę wytchnienia od bodźców, tempa pracy i nadmiaru informacji. W praktyce jednak wiele takich przestrzeni nie spełnia swojej funkcji. Zamiast wyciszać, męczą. Zamiast regenerować – irytują. Bardzo często powodem jest nie aspekt wizualny, lecz akustyka.

The basic parameter determining the acoustic conditions of a given interior is the reverberation time, measured in seconds. This is the time needed for the sound to fade away, counting from the moment it stops being emitted, that is, from the moment the source is turned off.

The next edition of the competition will accompany, as always, the 4 Design Days event. The modular acoustic wall created by Nyquist will participate in the finals of the prestigious competition on January 22 - this is an important moment for us.

Noise in the office is a problem that has many faces – from the tiring echo in conference rooms to the lack of privacy in open spaces. The market offers hundreds of solutions: ceiling islands, wall panels, mobile screens. How to choose, amid a jungle of options, those that will genuinely improve work comfort, won't break the budget, and will fit into the aesthetics of the interior? In this article, we analyze the pros and cons of three main categories of acoustic systems, helping Facility Managers and Architects make decisions based on facts, not assumptions.

If you are looking for a quick answer, here it is: the highest permissible noise intensity is a value related to an 8-hour workday, which in Poland (according to European Union guidelines) is 85 dB. Any violation of this limit places an obligation on the employer to take immediate technical and organizational actions.

The role of the architect in the modern world has long transcended aesthetics and functionality. Today, every project is a complex ecosystem in which you must juggle the client's priorities, rigorous standards, a tight budget, and increasing pressure for environmental responsibility. Every material chosen is a statement – not only of style but also of values. The challenge is to find products that are more than the sum of their parts: they must be beautiful, technically efficient, and authentically sustainable.

The choice of acoustic material defines the character of the interior. When you face the dilemma of natural aesthetics of wood wool versus the modern flexibility of PET felt, you seek a solution that uncompromisingly combines design with rigorous technical standards. This guide will provide you with concrete answers and help you make the optimal decision for your project.

You have invested in acoustic panels, but you still feel that the acoustics of your room could be better? Before you reach for thicker and more expensive materials, learn the secret that lies just behind your treatment. We are talking about the air gap – a deliberately left space between the panel and the wall. This is one of the simplest and most effective ways to radically improve sound absorption effectiveness, especially at problematic lower frequencies.
