Background of the Project

In a notable interior design project at Flextronics Office, we partnered with the client to undertake an innovative initiative aimed at improving the acoustic environment. A key feature of this project was the installation of , which played a crucial role in enhancing both the visual appeal and acoustic performance of the space.

Design Concept and Execution by SQFT Architects

SQFT Architects, renowned for their creative and functional design solutions, chose bevel-edged acoustic panels for this project. The bevel-edge design is not just a stylistic choice but also contributes to the acoustic effectiveness of the panels. This design is achieved through a precise cutting process, where the edges of the panels are angled rather than cut straight down. This technique increases the surface area of the panels, thereby enhancing their sound-absorbing capabilities¹.

Aesthetic and Acoustic Benefits

Enhanced Sound Absorption
The bevel edges of these panels allow for more efficient sound absorption, as they disrupt sound waves more effectively than flat surfaces. This results in a significant reduction in echo and reverberation within the space, which is crucial for environments like the Ministry of Health Office, where clarity of communication is paramount².

Visual Impact and Design Integration
The beveled design added a dimensional quality to the walls, creating an interplay of light and shadow that dynamically enhanced the visual appeal of the office. This choice of design aligned seamlessly with the modern and sophisticated aesthetic that SQFT Architects aimed to achieve in the Ministry of Health Office³.

Sustainable and Innovative Material Use

Eco-Friendly Panel Composition
In line with contemporary sustainable practices, the materials chosen for the acoustic panels were eco-friendly. The panels were likely composed of sustainable or recycled materials, contributing to the project’s overall environmental responsibility⁴.

Challenges in Design and Installation

Precision in Fabrication Achieving the bevel-edge design required precision in fabrication and installation. The process involved meticulous cutting and mounting to ensure that each panel aligned perfectly with the next, maintaining both the integrity of the acoustic performance and the visual design⁵.

Collaboration for Customization
The success of this installation was the result of close collaboration between SQFT Architects, acoustic experts, and the installation team. This collaborative effort ensured that the final installation met both the aesthetic and functional requirements of the Ministry of Health Office⁶.
