Featured City of Sydney Customs House, Circular Quay
In 2003, Sydney's Customs House undertook refurbishment of their library and some of their commercial tenancies. The firm was enlisted to assess the existing acoustic environment both internally and externally. Preliminary acoustic design goals appropriate to the refurbishment were drawn up along with other recommendations.
Several external noise intrusions needed to be addressed (i.e. loading dock noise, cafe noise, airconditioning unit noise etc). Features of the original building impacted on noise intrusion - requiring solutions that were sensitive to both the desired acoustics as well as the aesthetic heritage of the building. Various absorptive finishes were recommended for several areas of Customs House depending on level of use and interior design goals.
