What acoustic solution did CH3 use on the APR Seguros build?

On the APR Seguros build, CH3 used Trisoft's Acoustic Clouds. These suspended panels combine high acoustic performance with good design, and were chosen to improve speech intelligibility in the workspace without compromising the look of the office.

What acoustic clouds are

They are panels installed on the ceiling as floating elements, which absorb sound and reduce reverberation in the space. Beyond their technical function, the clouds help shape the overhead space in architectural designs; in other words, they are part of the visual composition of the ceiling.

Material properties

The clouds are made from PET wool and have the following properties:

• Sustainable and 100% recyclable.
• Self-extinguishing.
• Can be installed on any ceiling surface.
• Certified by IPT.
• Contribute to LEED, ACQUA, PROCEL and EDIFICA ratings, among others.

For a company seeking sustainability certifications for its headquarters, this last property carries weight in the choice of material.

Why the choice makes sense

CH3 has been receiving requests in which the quality of the sound environment is a design requirement. The WHO already classifies noise pollution as a public health problem, and in the office, noise directly affects productivity. Panels such as Trisoft's clouds respond to this with a solution the market now offers in a wide variety of shapes, colors and designs.

The APR Seguros project shows this reasoning in practice: a material with proven performance and certification that solves acoustic comfort while also contributing to the visual language of the space. For your company, it is an example of how acoustic treatment can be handled at the ceiling, without heavy interventions in the walls or the layout.
