Project
Approach
The interior had to accommodate several functions: reception and advice, product display, self-testing and interactive demonstrations. In addition, specific acoustic requirements applied to the rooms where hearing tests take place.
In those test environments, sound insulation was essential. We therefore worked with soundproofing and sound-absorbing materials, so that ambient noise is kept to a minimum and hearing tests can take place in a controlled environment.
For Hemlock, the challenge lay not only in creating a high-quality retail environment, but also in executing bespoke work to the right technical standard in rooms where acoustics are a direct part of how they function.
Detail
The most distinctive aspect of World of Hearing is its combination of retail, technology and specialist hearing functions. In the Experience Room and test environments, the focus is not only on appearance but also on the quality of the acoustic environment.
The hearing test rooms are therefore fitted with soundproofing materials and acoustic features that help reduce disruptive ambient noise. In this way the interior supports not only the customer experience, but also the accuracy and quality of the service.
