FUNCTION:
Meeting Room in Co-Working Space
SIZE:
14 m²
CITY:
Mannheim
ACCOUSTIC IMPACT:
By installing our hop-based panels, the average reverberation time had been reduced by 46.4% — from 1.368 to 0.733 seconds — resulting in a clearer and more balanced sound environment.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
By installing 14 m² of hop-based acoustic panels, we repurposed 152.6 kg of hop waste that would have otherwise been used in biogas production. Supporting a more circular and resource-efficient use of local materials.
INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYS:
In this meeting room project, the objective has been to enhance the acoustic quality of the space while maintaining a bright and natural atmosphere. We have installed our hop-based acoustic panels to improve sound insulation, ensuring conversations remained clear and contained — a key requirement for collaborative work environments. By selecting a light, neutral palette, we have achieved a clean and cohesive visual appearance that integrated seamlessly into the existing interior design. The result was a space that combined acoustic performance, aesthetic value, and natural material innovation, demonstrating the versatility of our panels in modern professional settings.
