Architectural sound design

Methodology
Designing for the way people actually hear
Technical compliance is only one layer. We consider intelligibility, fatigue, atmosphere, coverage and spatial behaviour so sound supports the room rather than competing with it.
Our Cognitive Load Index framework helps us assess how sound affects comfort, attention and human response in designed environments.

Claude's
Company: Sonic Design Studios | Location: London, UK
Mondo-DR featured the Claude's at Chotto Matte installation as a case study in design led audio integration. A sculptural Pequod Acoustics system sits embedded within a controlled basement hospitality interior, where architecture, operation and audio are tuned as a single piece.

Built for the Architectural Workflow
We work the way you work. Drawings exchanged in CAD and Revit, acoustic modelling delivered at schematic stage, speaker positions coordinated against your reflected ceiling plan, and material absorption mapped against your finishes schedule.
No hardware imposed onto a finished room. No retrofitted ceilings. No speakers that fight your visual language. We integrate audio early, so it complements the architecture rather than compromising it.

I appointed Sonic Design Studios for a residential refurbishment. They were professional, transparent, courteous and completed the job in a timely manner. The speakers sound, and look incredible. Tariq was available throughout the install to answer any queries we had.
