Applied Acoustic Design



£100m Richard Rogers K2 Scheme

Occupying a prominent site at the junction of East Smithfield and Tower Bridge Approach, K2 Tower Bridge House is a 180.000 sq ft flagship mixed use development by Taylor Woodrow Property. This world class building was designed by a world leading architectural practice with a design team to match. Clearly, AAD were at home amongst the base build design team members responsible for the creation of this high quality braced steel frame/external spandrel panel clad building.

Acoustic Challenges

Solution

Mark Bishop, AAD Director and project consultant for both the shell and core and the RPC fit out assignments comments... "Our considerable experience in law firm fit out challenges over many years allowed this scheme to deliver high base-build acoustic quality with an ability to accommodate very challenging fit-out requirements. One particular challenge was accommodating a large number of lawyers from a predominantly open plan and highly transparent environment. As speech privacy is a very important consideration when delivering legal advice and guidance, our fit-out design and specifications have shown that open plan visual transparency and speech privacy can be achieved. In a building so well positioned as this, it would be a poor show to enclose its occupants, even for acoustic reasons!"
