Doğa College Tuzla Campus

A 369-seat auditorium distinguished by its striking red palette and refined detailing. Custom acoustic panels with vertical wooden slats form a unique wall pattern, highlighted by concealed LED lighting that enhances depth and texture in dimmed settings. The hall integrates architectural precision with stage mechanics and professional AV systems, achieving both visual character and balanced acoustic performance.

A client-supplied design concept needed to be reconciled with the hall's flat-floor shell and technical requirements.

This Tuzla campus hall marked the first collaboration between Doğa Colleges and Acoustic Design. The group has developed its own distinctive concept style across its campuses over the years.

The client's concept brief was reinterpreted against the hall's shell structure and technical requirements rather than applied directly.

The 369-seat auditorium combines a striking red palette with custom acoustic panels in vertical wooden slats.

Challenge

A client-supplied design concept needed to be reconciled with the hall's flat-floor shell and technical requirements.

The concept brief supplied by the client needed to be reinterpreted against the realities of the hall's shell structure and its technical requirements, in order to deliver a hall of the quality expected.

The shell was a flat-floor structure.

Solution

A raised floor was built on a heavy-duty steel substructure, with acoustic timber panelling in the client's chosen tones framing acoustic fabric panels on the walls.

A raised floor was constructed using a heavy-duty steel substructure. On the walls, acoustic timber panels were finished in the colour tones requested by the client's management, with acoustic fabric panels set within the timber framing between them.

Custom panels with vertical wooden slats form the wall pattern, highlighted by concealed LED lighting that adds depth and texture in dimmed settings. The hall also integrates stage mechanics and professional AV systems.

Outcomes

A hall that honours Doğa's established design language while resolving its shell's specific structural conditions.

A hall that honours Doğa's established concept language while resolving the specific structural conditions of its Tuzla shell.

It was the first project with Acoustic Design for Doğa Colleges.

Acoustic Survey

An acoustician 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 an AI-assisted acoustic 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 the manufacturers we work with and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.

Acoustic Installation

Our installation team fits to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs the treatment.

Acoustic Testing & Compliance

Optional paid add-on: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Compliance testing is carried out with our testing partner, EMC Acoustics, and the written record goes into your building file.
