Meeting Room at Sisah Theves Screening Building

When Designers Consider Acoustics from Day One | Trandar

📖 Project Story — When detail-oriented designers see beyond mere aesthetics

Sisah Theves Building is a landmark of great historical significance. Designing a meeting room within this building was no ordinary task; it required reflecting professionalism and spatial appropriateness in every dimension.

Cananup Design Company, the design firm behind this project, looks beyond mere aesthetics and functionality, prioritizing meeting room sound quality right from the planning stage.

The design team's decision to address acoustics before construction began is what sets this project apart. They understood that a meeting room designed without acoustic consideration from the start would be far more difficult and costly to fix later.

🔊 A Clear Brief from the Start — Sound Isolation and Echo Reduction Combined

The meeting room had two acoustic requirements that needed to be addressed simultaneously, both of equal importance.

First — Sound Isolation
The meeting room required privacy. Internal discussions must not leak to other areas in the building, and external noise must not disrupt ongoing meetings.

Second — Acoustic Treatment (Echo & Reverberation Reduction)
Even with external noise blocked, echoes and reverberation inside the room would reduce meeting efficiency, forcing participants to speak louder, repeat themselves, and waste energy fighting room acoustics.

The brief was clear — a solution that addresses both challenges simultaneously without compromising the intended design aesthetics.

🛠️ The Trandar Solution — Two Complementary Systems

After analyzing the brief and design by Cananup Design, Trandar proposed an acoustic system that fulfills both dimensions while prioritizing seamless integration with the overall interior design.

✅ Trandar Hitech Wall TSIS71 — The wall system that ensures privacy for your meeting room

TSIS71 was chosen as the primary sound-insulating wall system for this meeting room, featuring a structure specifically engineered to effectively block sound wave transmission through the walls across all frequencies.

Addressing both confidential discussions requiring high privacy and disruptive building noise that shouldn't interrupt sessions, TSIS71 creates a robust acoustic barrier around the meeting room, cleanly separating the interior space from the rest of the building.

✅ Trandar Series F — The ceiling system that controls interior sound quality

Trandar Series F works hand-in-hand with TSIS71, addressing the dimension that sound-insulating walls alone cannot solve: interior sound quality

Once sound is contained within the room, Series F absorbs echoes and reverberations. Featuring an optimal NRC rating for meeting spaces, every word spoken by participants remains clear and free of overlapping noise, ensuring smooth and productive meetings.

Beyond acoustic performance, Series F was chosen for its ability to seamlessly blend with Khananup Design's architectural vision. The meeting room ceiling maintains a clean, sophisticated aesthetic matching the prestige of the space, with no visible indicators of specialized acoustic integration.

🤝 A partnership built on trust

What makes this project truly remarkable isn't just the effective solution, but the collaborative process between the design team and Trandar Acoustics.

Khananup Design didn't just come to Trandar to purchase materials; they came to co-create a solution that harmonized acoustic and design requirements. Trandar stepped in as an acoustic consultant who truly understands design, proposing systems that perfectly aligned with the designer's vision.

This is the difference between simply buying products and co-creating something better.

✨ The Result — A meeting room with flawless aesthetics and performance

With the TSIS71 wall system and Series F ceiling system fully installed, the meeting room at the Si Sao Thewet Building has become a space that fulfills every requirement.

The high-level privacy required for this caliber of meeting room is completely protected. Internal sounds do not leak out, external noise does not intrude, and discussions and presentations inside are crystal clear from every seat, free of echo or reverberation.

Most importantly, the room's design maintains an exquisite aesthetic befitting the Si Sao Thewet Building in every detail.

"Good designers design what you see, great designers design what you feel — and the sound in a meeting room is something you feel every time you use it."
