What is the difference between acoustic treatment and soundproofing?

Soundproofing is designed to stop sound from entering or leaving a space by adding mass and decoupling structures. Acoustic treatment, on the other hand, focuses on improving the sound quality inside a room by controlling reflections, echoes, and reverberation using absorption and diffusion.

How much do acoustic solutions cost?

The cost varies significantly depending on the project's scale and requirements. For a standard EINS (Environmental Noise Impact Study), prices start around €2,000. Custom architectural acoustic solutions for studios or venues are quoted based on a detailed assessment of the space and technical goals.

Are acoustic panels enough to reduce noise?

Acoustic panels are primarily used for acoustic treatment (reducing echo and improving clarity). While they can slightly lower the perceived noise level inside a room, they are not a solution for soundproofing. To block noise from neighbors or outside, structural modifications are usually required.

Do I need an acoustic study before soundproofing?

Yes, we highly recommend an acoustic study before starting any soundproofing work. It allows us to identify the specific transmission paths of the noise, ensuring that you invest in the right materials and techniques, avoiding costly mistakes and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Can acoustic solutions be added to existing buildings?

Absolutely. We specialize in retrofitting existing spaces with both acoustic treatment and soundproofing solutions. Whether it's an office, a restaurant, or a home studio, we can implement architectural solutions that integrate seamlessly with your current interior design.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS ?

In the world of acoustic engineering, the term "acoustic solutions" encompasses a broad range of technical interventions designed to control how sound travels and is perceived within a space. To navigate a project successfully, it is essential to distinguish between several key pillars:

Soundproofing (Isolation) : This focuses on blocking sound from traveling between different rooms or from the outside environment. It involves structural engineering to prevent noise leakage.
Acoustic Treatment (Absorption & Diffusion) : This addresses the sound quality inside a room. It involves managing echoes, reverberation, and frequency balance to ensure clarity and comfort.
Architectural Acoustics : This is the holistic integration of these technical requirements into the very design of a building, where materials, volumes, and geometries are calculated to achieve a specific sonic goal.

In practice, a successful project rarely relies on just one of these elements. Most high-end spaces—whether a professional recording studio or a luxury restaurant—require a bespoke combination of multiple levers to achieve total acoustic harmony and regulatory compliance.

ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS FOR ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN PROJECTS

The combination of acoustics, design and expertise : a customized, cross disciplinary approach

At Red House, we believe that acoustic constraints are a source of creativity for the spaces we design.

That's why we combine technical expertise, design, and craftsmanship in every project. We involve you in every stage of the process and offer tailor-made solutions that closely match your desires and your budget.

Our role does not stop at acoustic studies or interior design; we advise you right up to delivery and ensure the quality of each of our projects.

Our field of activity is diverse; we work for the private and public sectors, individuals and professionals, and respond to all types of acoustic issues.

INTERIOR ACOUSTIC TREATMENT FOR COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE

Spaces designed to improve sound quality and user comfort.
We optimize the internal acoustics of a variety of spaces: auditoriums, conference rooms, restaurants, clubs, places of worship, and offices.

The goal is to combine sound clarity, listening comfort, and architectural aesthetics. By adjusting and controlling reverberation, diffusion, and absorption, we transform spaces into pleasant and functional acoustic environments, while integrating discreet design solutions.

SOUNDPROOFING AND NOISE ISOLATION SOLUTIONS

Controlled silence, guaranteed comfort.

Whether for a studio, private cinema, office, or living space, we carry out precise sound insulation studies tailored to each use.

Thanks to our measuring tools and expertise in acoustic engineering, we offer customized solutions that guarantee comfort, confidentiality, and compliance with regulations.

Our pragmatic approach combines technical efficiency and economic feasibility.

ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS BY TYPE OF SPACE

Our expertise spans a diverse array of environments, providing tailored acoustic excellence for everything from vibrant restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues to high-performance offices, workspaces, recording studios, and premium residential projects

RED HOUSE’S APPROACH TO ACOUSTIC SOLUTIONS

At Red House, we believe that acoustics should never be an afterthought; it is a fundamental pillar of architectural design. Our approach is defined by a unique blend of rigorous engineering and creative problem-solving. Instead of seeing acoustic constraints as obstacles, we use them as levers to enhance the character and functionality of a space.

Taking on an advisory role from the outset, we offer a 360-degree virtual tour that covers everything from structural soundproofing to the most refined interior acoustic finishes. . Every project is treated as a bespoke challenge, where our expertise ensures that the technical requirements disappear into a seamless, high-performance environment tailored to your specific creative and professional needs.
