The Challenge
The Canopy Hotel at Wills Wharf wanted to create a unique and beautiful meeting space that transcended a typical hotel aesthetic in the market area. The goal was to create a visually stunning and formal environment with views of the harbor while also ensuring the room provided enhanced acoustic quality. The design required a unique ceiling shape that could be installed efficiently in order to meet the project’s demanding timeline.
The Solution
RPG Acoustics provided the perfect solution with its Perfecto® Micro Planks for the first-floor conference center. This product was chosen for this project because of its versatility and superior performance. The plank system has a unique design that allows for custom and non-traditional ceiling shapes. The system was also engineered to install into a standard 15/16 Heavy Duty T-Grid, provided by the contractor, which significantly streamlined the installation process.
Project Goals and Deliverables
- Create a unique and beautiful meeting space that stands out from the typical market area.
- Deliver a high-end acoustic solution that complements the room.
- Ensure that the ceiling system could be installed quickly and efficiently.
Key Successes
The project successfully delivered a visually and acoustically exceptional space. The RPG Perfecto® Micro Planks achieved the specific aesthetic goals of Canopy Hotels while also creating a room that can handle and control conversations. The quick installation of the plank system ensured the project stayed on schedule.
The most notable success, however, was of course the acoustic performance! RPG’s Perfecto® Micro-Perforation technology creates spaces that don’t get too loud but don’t feel quiet. By targeting the mid-range frequencies, the system keeps the space in perfect balance for conversation and presentation. The result is a contemporary and professional-looking space that is perfectly adapted for both in-person and virtual meetings.
Collaboration with the Design Time
RPG worked directly with the project’s contractor and purchaser, J. Suss Industries, to deliver a product that met all of the requirements. The collaborative effort ensured that Perfecto® Micro Planks were seamlessly integrated into the specific T-Grid system.
Conclusion
Through its partnership on the Canopy Hotel at Wills Wharf, RPG delivered a premium and high-performing acoustic ceiling that also satisfied the unique aesthetic needs of the room and the company. The project highlights RPG’s ability to provide innovative and customizable products that not only enhance a space’s design but also optimizes the acoustic environment.
