A flagship campus hall needed to resolve acoustic performance and sightlines across a two-tier seating arrangement.

The performing hall at the Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Esenyurt Education Campus is the largest of the campus's notable halls: a multi-purpose venue of 800 seats for the campus's full range of activities.

The brief called for two-tier seating, which added complexity to the acoustic and sightline design. We combined convex-curved acoustic timber panels with a stepped ceiling, and enriched its sculpted forms with indirect lighting.

The campus now has a flagship venue for its events programme.

Challenge

A flagship campus hall needed to resolve acoustic performance and sightlines across a two-tier seating arrangement.

A flagship campus hall had to resolve acoustic performance and sightlines across a two-tier seating arrangement, which is more complex than a standard single-level hall.

Solution

Convex-curved acoustic timber panels were paired with a stepped ceiling structure enriched by indirect lighting, delivering high-performance architectural acoustics across both tiers.

The project covered full design, consultancy and implementation, with lighting and AV systems integrated into the architectural language of the room.

Outcomes

The largest and most prominent performing hall within the Esenyurt education campus.

The campus gained its largest and most prominent performing hall: an 800-seat, two-tier venue suited to school events, performances and community use.

From first survey to final finish

One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.

Free site survey
Acoustic Survey

A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.

Acoustic Assessment

Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.

Acoustic Design

Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.

Specification & Quotation

Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.

Acoustic Product Supply

Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.

Acoustic Installation

Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.

Acoustic Testing & Compliance

Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.
