INTRODUCTION

As one of the UK’s leading acoustic consultancies founded in 1984 (formerly Paul Gillieron Acoustic Design), we have been responsible for a large number of high quality auditoria with excellent acoustics. We have won many awards and specialise in spaces with adaptable acoustics. These spaces can be used for a wide range of performances, from orchestral concerts, through opera and lyric theatre, to drama and amplified music, without compromising any use.

We offer a wide range of expert acoustic advice to architects, engineers and developers.

Specialist areas include;

• New theatres and concert halls
• Night clubs and music venues
• Rebuilding and refurbishment of theatres and auditoria
• Resiliently mounted structures and buildings
• Room acoustics and computer modelling
• Noise mapping
• Facade assessments
• Auralisation of room acoustics
• Plant noise impact assessments and noise surveys
• Long term noise and vibration monitoring (visit our specialist website http://www.noisemonitoring.net for more info)
• Residential design to code for sustainable homes and PART E standards
• Office Design
• Schools
• Computer aided recording studio and auditorium design (using CATT software)
• High performance sound system design
• Environmental acoustic design
• Design of very low noise air systems

Since 1995, we have been involved in a number of large, lottery funded arts projects.

We help to produce buildings of the highest technical quality, using modern, computer aided design methods and are dedicated to low energy building design.

We are responsible for all aspects of acoustic design, from discussions with clients and architects, environmental measurements, establishment of a detailed acoustic brief, design development and the creation of a detailed design which fulfills the clients aspirations.

We make regular site inspections and measurements, to make sure acoustic criteria are met in the finished building.

We have completed more than 50 new theatres, 11 listed theatre conversions, several music schools and many other auditoria.

We have a unique understanding of the needs of clients, performers, technical staff and audiences.
