The Challenge
This project involved a purpose-built music centre within a historic school setting.
The facility required acoustic control within a concert hall and multiple teaching spaces, supporting both performance and practice.
Curtains needed to be large and heavy to achieve the required acoustic performance, with drops of up to six metres.
The system also had to remain easy to operate, allowing flexible positioning within the space.
All elements needed to integrate with a design-led building that had received architectural awards.
System Design
Acoustic curtains were installed across the concert hall and key spaces.
The system allows flexible positioning to support different performance and teaching setups.
Integration
The curtains were designed to work within the performance environment.
- Positioned to support acoustic control across spaces
- Integrated within concert hall and teaching layouts
Bespoke Engineering
The weight and size of the curtains required a specialist track system.
Hand-drawn tracks were engineered to support heavy loads while allowing smooth and controlled movement.
Fabric & Performance
Fabric selection focused on acoustic performance.
- Sound absorption within performance spaces
- Improved acoustic quality for audiences and performers
Delivery & Installation
The Outcome
The completed system enhances acoustic performance across the music centre.
Curtains allow flexible control of sound within both performance and teaching spaces.
Despite their size and weight, the systems remain easy to operate, supporting daily use.
The result is a practical solution that complements the building’s design and purpose.
