critical so an isolated sound box was constructed to form the studio with stud walls built to separate it from the café – using a lift shaft model allowing for air and acoustic separation. Commenting on the project Joe Stuart of
Warehome Architects said, “Heradesign was absolutely perfect for this project. it provides excellent acoustic properties and we love the look of its natural, raw wood wool texture.

‘Scandi’ design and monochrome pallet, Heradesign in black was specified throughout.

Getting value for money is critical for schools and clubs investing in sports facilities, and one of the best ways to deliver impact is by installing a Multi- Use Games Area.
