Shell Tower Cafe
The problem: Office cafes are designed as social spaces that bring people together. But without careful acoustic consideration, they can quickly become loud, reverberant environments where noise builds up and spreads easily. This can make conversations difficult, reduce comfort and limit how the space is used throughout the day.

Our solution
To improve acoustic performance, Resonics used a layered approach, combining multiple acoustic treatments to manage noise within the space.
Silent Space SilentWall panels were placed at key points to absorb sound that would otherwise be reflected back into the space. This was complemented by Tenso Print, which adds further absorption and acts as custom artwork, enhancing the visual identity of the cafe.
Additional treatments, including Acoufelt Waterfall screens and Woodup timber panels, were integrated to break up sound paths and introduce different materials into the space, adding depth and interest.
Silent Space SilentRafts were strategically placed across the ceiling, providing high-performance sound absorption, creating a calmer, more comfortable atmosphere even during peak times.
The Outcome
The result is a cafe environment that feels balanced and comfortable, even during busy periods.
Sound is controlled effectively, reducing harsh reflections and the amount of sound travelling through the space. This allows conversations to remain clear and natural, supporting a place where people can connect, collaborate, or take a break without excessive noise.
