Creative wall design and acoustics with Ecophon Akusto™ One

The extension of Monheim town hall introduced vibrant, design-led spaces that promote communication and collaboration through bold colours and open layouts.

Beyond aesthetics, room acoustics play a vital role in wellbeing, influencing emotions, behaviour, and spatial perception. Open-plan offices pose acoustic challenges, but with thoughtful zoning and the right solutions, a productive and pleasant work environment is achievable.

Good acoustics are essential for concentration, stress reduction, and overall performance. Poor sound conditions can hinder focus and increase fatigue.

In open office landscapes and hybrid work models, it’s crucial to consider acoustics early – whether in new builds, renovations, or refurbishments. Those who do create inspiring and functional workplaces, as seen in Monheim town hall.

From the outset, acoustic planning was integral alongside colour and material choices. Ecophon Akusto™ One wall absorbers were used to reduce flutter echoes and add visual interest. These panels reflect the colour scheme and harmonise with the interior design, delivering both acoustic comfort and aesthetic coherence.
