An ear for architecture: open space design without echoes

CB MODE HANNOVER – ALTWARMBÜCHEN

Main Challenge

An open space design, which gives the customer an overview, maintains a visual order and despite the open concept, avoids acoustically echoing effects.

Interior style

The new shop of Beutin was conceived under the theme “Las Vegas”. The area is divided into a ground floor and a first floor. The façade is open on two floors and offers a spectacular view of both floors.

The entire ceiling is painted in anthracite. Suspended, white-covered ceiling sails divide the different areas and create an optical order.

The lighting has been completely converted into LED. Large fabric pendant lights in green as well as wooden cubes emphasize individual areas. In the cabins, cubic fabric lights were attached to the ceiling sail to create a feel-good atmosphere.

The patented 360° technolgoy of the NewTec loudspeakers produces a uniform sound carpet without reverberation times for all listening positions. This is achieved primarily by the integration into the suspended ceiling sail, the suspended power rails, as well as the pendulum loudspeakers adapted in their length. In addition, the color of the loudspeakers has been adjusted according to the load-bearing elements and fits seamlessly into the existing architecture. The acoustic harmony is also visually underpinned.
