Global events-led marketing and communications services business UBM occupied the new 240 Blackfriars Road building in January 2015. The Gensler-designed interior included an exposed concrete ceiling with baffling and chilled beam system.
Acoustic consultants Sandy Brown recommended the introduction of sound masking because of the low level mechanical noise noticeable throughout the open plan areas and, after a hard-fought procurement process, Acoustic Comfort were appointed by Swift as the preferred supplier. A key element to the selection criteria was the ability to tune the system with acute accuracy across the floors. Without this capability, the associated risk would have been high.
This is a landmark project for Acoustic Comfort, for a prestigious client in an iconic new building.

As we understand it, LogiSon was selected as the preferred supplier of the sound masking for our offices because of its reputation worldwide as the market leader in this specialism. Our new offices are designed to the highest specification and we wanted this to extend to the masking technology. The best compliment I can pay is that we have several busy floors of open plan and as you walk throughout, you can’t notice the sound masking, but the atmosphere appears calm.
