Acoustics & environmental design

Acoustics and environmental design

Soundfangled provides acoustic consultancy and environmental design for venues, studios, hospitality, workplaces and commercial spaces. We consider sound, isolation, airflow, lighting, materials and layout together, shaping rooms around the comfort and practical needs of the people using them.

Design the environment. Solve the room.

A space can need a complete environmental design, a targeted acoustic solution or a room-specific RUK system. We connect sound quality and speech clarity with lighting, air quality, materials and everyday use, so each technical decision supports the people in the room.

Shape an acoustic environment

01 / Service

Environmental design for spaces

Bring acoustics, airflow and air quality, lighting, materials and spatial layout into one design. We consider how people use a venue, studio, restaurant, office or commercial space, balancing sound quality, comfort and practical everyday use.

Airflow, ventilation and air quality considerations
Lighting, light levels and atmosphere
Materials, layout and integrated AV

In practice

We work with venue owners, designers, architects and contractors to understand the room and develop practical options. Environmental integration includes guidance on air control, material selection and lighting alongside acoustics, with drawings, specifications and budgets to guide delivery.

02 / Service

Acoustic treatment & sound isolation

Improve the sound within a room and reduce unwanted sound transfer between spaces. Treatment addresses echoes, speech clarity and low-frequency behaviour; isolation addresses noise travelling into or out of the room.

Room assessment and acoustic modelling
Bespoke treatment and Helmholtz resonators
Sound isolation and fit-out

In practice

Room use and acoustic analysis guide the choice of panels, resonators and bespoke solutions. Modelling informs decisions before work begins, including low-frequency control where needed. Treatments are designed to suit the room's materials and appearance as well as its acoustic requirements.

RUK premium acoustic products

RUK is Soundfangled Acoustics' flagship product range: a configurable acoustic system designed around the room. Its panels control unwanted reflections and balance the frequency response across a space, making it more comfortable to listen in. High-quality materials and tailored finishes bring acoustic performance and the character of the space into the same specification.

Configurable shapes, sizes, depths and textures
Custom fabrics, frames, trims and colours

How we work

Science-backed design.

Site surveys, acoustic analysis and room modelling inform design decisions before work begins. We turn that understanding into options, drawings and specifications, then coordinate the materials, specialists and installation needed to carry the design into the finished space.

Understand the space
Discuss the brief, budget and how the room is used. Site surveys and acoustic analysis establish what needs to change and which constraints matter.

Develop the design
Compare practical options with drawings, specifications and budgets. Bring sound, lighting, air quality, materials and layout into a coordinated proposal.

Integrate and deliver
Source materials, coordinate contractors and manage installation, including AV fit-out where required. Provide handover and support for maintenance or future work.
