SUMMIT TOWER (JRK TOWER)

When a "Large-Scale Mixed-Use Building" Must Be Designed for Quietness… Right Down to the Structure

“How well should a serviced office building control sound to meet the needs of modern tenants?”

In an era where tenants choose offices based on more than just location or price, choosing based on the “quality of the actual usable space,” one of the most discussed factors is

 👉 “Noise in the workspace.” So, how should a large-scale building in a business district like Ratchathewi be designed… to best support actual usage?

🧠 PROJECT OVERVIEW

Summit Tower (JRK Tower) is one of the largest mixed-use projects in the Ratchathewi district, designed to accommodate a variety of functions, especially office space for rent.

Key challenges include:

• Large space → High reverberation
• Diverse users → Inconsistent noise levels
• Must maintain a premium building image

👉 This makes the “ceiling system” a crucial component that does more than just finish the look… it must “control sound.”

🔊 PROBLEM

Acoustic issues in large office buildings. Open-plan office buildings often face problems with:

• Reverberation
• Distracting speech noise
• Echoes in high-ceiling areas

Which directly impacts:

• Work concentration
• User productivity
• Long-term tenant experience

👉 For rental buildings, this equals customer satisfaction.

🔧 SOLUTION

Ceiling systems from Trandar Acoustics for systematic problem solving.

🔹 Trandar AMF Star

Used in combination with 

🔹 Trandar T-bar T15 Suspension System installed throughout the entire building.
