esigned by Fraser Brown MacKenna (FBM Architects) for AXO Student Living, the new Paradise Street
areas to help create an environment that’s conducive for both study and relaxation. Heradesign was the first choice for FBM Architects as they had used it in another recent student accommodation project in Coventry and valued its aesthetic properties, acoustic credentials and durability. FBM Architects, Associate David Taylor,
“We chose Heradesign because of its textured effect that would provide a tactile quality and soften the space, both acoustically and visually. We received valuable support from Knauf AMF’s specifications manager who guided us through the design phases and helped create the bespoke accessible ceiling finish we required.” Circulation areas are prone to unwanted
noise travelling from one area to another, which can be distracting for students working or resting in their rooms. To combat this, Heradesign was chosen to provide Class A sound absorption and a high level of sound insulation to improve privacy. Fire protection
is also a vital requirement. Heradesign is classified A2 fire performance to prevent flame spread. In the cinema, leisure and media zone HERADESIGN®
creative was
specified in orange and grey hexagonal tiles to form an attractive geometric acoustic feature wall.
