Elevating office acoustics and aesthetics in Omaha with custom QuietPrintâ„¢ designs

Omaha Office Design

IA Interior Architects undertook the redesign of an office building in Omaha, NE, with a vision to merge modern aesthetics with practical functionality. Their goal was to create a space that would not only reflect the company’s brand identity but also promote employee well-being and productivity. With the increasing prevalence of open-plan workspaces, acoustics became a primary challenge to address in the design process.

To improve the office’s acoustic performance while maintaining its sleek, modern aesthetic, IA opted for Acoufelt’s Regular Ceiling Baffles in the ‘Linear’ design, finished in a sophisticated ‘Pearl’ colorway. These clean, minimalist baffles were strategically installed in high-traffic areas such as the break room, reception, and collaborative zones. With an impressive Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) of 1.30, the ceiling baffles not only enhance the auditory environment but also contribute to a workspace conducive to focus and productivity.

In the atrium, IA selected custom printed acoustic panels to be installed behind the front desk and encircling the main staircase and meeting area. Utilizing QuietPrint™ technology, Acoufelt designed custom Printed Acoustic Wall Panels featuring a striking ‘Plywood’ print with a bespoke line pattern. These panels provided a unique artistic element while simultaneously improving sound absorption. The result was a balanced acoustic environment that complemented the open, airy feel of the space.

FilaSorb™, Acoufelt’s signature material, was used in these designs. Made from over 60% recycled PET and produced using 40% renewable energy, FilaSorb™ contributes to the project’s sustainability. The material is fully recyclable at the end of its life cycle, ensuring an eco-friendly solution for modern office design.

 

The outcome of the redesign is a workspace where form and function coexist harmoniously. The office now offers thoughtfully designed areas that support both collaboration and individual focus. Employees enjoy an environment that is not only visually inspiring but also acoustically optimized, enhancing their overall productivity and job satisfaction.
