MIXED USE BUILDINGS

The acoustics of mixed-use new urbanist communities and town centers poses interesting challenges to planners and acoustical consultants.

The proximity within the same block and sometimes within the same building of entertainment, dining, fitness, food preparation, shopping, office and residential occupancies requires adequate sound isolation between and among activities as well as carefully crafted ordinances to encourage the vitality of an active urban community while providing quiet and repose for residents.

Our portfolio includes many mixed-use buildings as well as comprehensive soundscape management and design for entire communities and new towns.
