Taking acoustics to new heights M
almaison York is a stunning boutique hotel comprising 150 bedrooms,
F&B venues, the
brand’s signature Work + Play meeting and event spaces, spa and gym. With interiors designed by Studio Moren and sited in the iconic former Aviva building in central York, the 1960s brutalist offi ce building has been re-confi gured to create a bespoke venue befi tting its unique location and heritage.
The redesign includes restoring eight fl oors of concrete fl oorplates as well as facades and walls. Two new bars and restaurants were incorporated into the scheme including the Sora Sky Bar with a large terrace overlooking York Minster. With so many hard surfaces in the design, Studio Moren needed to fi nd a solution to control acoustics within the spaces from the restaurants and decided to use Troldtekt’s wood wool acoustic panels as part of the ceiling designs. Specifi ed in an innovative two-tone design, the destination restaurant complements the wider 1960s inspiration and the brand’s playful image. Troldtekt’s wood wool acoustic panels are frequently specifi ed in schools, restaurants, leisure spaces and commercial properties where noise levels can be uncomfortably loud. Panels are available in a variety of different structures and colours, combining optimal sound absorption with an award-winning design. The Troldtekt range has a minimum expected life cycle of 50 years coupled with excellent resistance to humidity and tested
to meet ball impact standards. The range is available in various sizes and structures, from extreme fi ne to fi ne. They can be supplied as natural wood, natural unpainted FUTURECEM™ offering a reduced carbon footprint and fi nished in almost any RAL or NCS colour.

The New Victoria was the largest “picture palace” outside of London when it opened in 1930. Having closed its doors in 2000, the derelict building containing auditorium, ballroom, restaurant and lounges was facing demolition. It is being revitalised by Bradford Live into a modern, low carbon entertainment space with emphasis on retaining as much of the original interior decor as possible. The talents of Gilberts Blackpool were called upon to fulfi l the discreet delivery and exhaust of air to ensure compliant ambient temperature and indoor air quality even when fi lled to capacity. The venue expects to welcome 300,000 visitors a year. Gilberts has provided a raft of grilles and diffusers, including bespoke variations to enhance their intrinsic performance within the confi nes of the existing building fabric. Chris Patchett, Pitts Wilson Mechanical Contracts Manager added: “Gilberts has performed very well, being proactive and helpful throughout the project.” Gilberts has a signifi cant portfolio of delivering ventilation solutions for entertainment and leisure venues, including the Royal Albert Hall and Manchester’s PrintWorks.
