Our role in the project
Establishing Bloc’s aspirations based on noise and vibration measurements of their existing Birmingham hotel, we provided design advice to achieve regulatory standard, conducted surveys and recommended design developments to enhance the client’s aspirations of high quality sound insulation.
Specific considerations
- Aircraft noise
- Client’s heightened expectations
Acoustic features of this project
- Our involvement from the early concept design stage meant that:
- This Gatwick hotel was, from an acoustic perspective, built in keeping with the Bloc philosophy, cost effectively and using the very best materials;
- On-site measurements and assessments were benchmarked against tests of other Bloc hotels taken by the same acoustic consultant;
- We were able to work with the architect and design team to achieve Bloc’s higher noise control expectations within the project’s budget.
