Hints & tips for creating a destination food space from Catering Design Group Acoustics
ACOUSTICS
An area often overlooked when designing a café or restaurant space and yet critical to achieving the right ambience for your customers - particularly in large, airy spaces with high ceilings.
Divide the space with ceiling rafts or screens.
Introduce soft surfaces such as upholstery, flooring and planting - a building with lots of hard surfaces (particularly glass) will amplify noise.
Carefully position clearing stations and open passes – there’s nothing worse than the clatter of crockery, pots and pans to drown out the pleasant ‘buzz’ of happy customers.
Consider specialist acoustic materials, which come in all shapes and sizes from lighting drums to wall graphics.
