The Architecture of Silence: NRC 0.75 Acoustic Plaster & Timber Joinery
Kenjiro Sato, JIA
Eliminating stone-and-glass reverberation flutter so minimal volumes feel hushed, intimate, and acoustically grounded.
Monolithic stone floors and expansive glazing often suffer from harsh 1.8-second reverberation times that exhaust conversation. By integrating micro-perforated mineral ceilings and slatted Douglas fir acoustic cavities behind flush joinery, we bring living volumes down to a serene 0.42-second RT60.
