The Place - Leeds

Client: PTS

Cass Allen were appointed to assess the existing acoustic conditions in the second floor offices of Yorkshire Housing’s newly built office building and provide guidance for the fit-out of the first floor presentation spaces.

The key challenge has been to provide adequate sound insulation between the presentation spaces and offices to enable flexible use of both spaces, while maintaining the visual appeal of CLT where possible to achieve both acoustics and aesthetic goals.
