The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island is a premier destination for people of all ages that live or travel through the Outer Banks Region. However, their vaulted ceiling entryway and atrium suffered from poor acoustics when crowds would gather. Their solution was to install Respond IR Wall Panels that matched the watery, dark blue color of the walls. Due to Conwed working with the industry leaders in fabric, the designer easily found the perfect match. The panels beautifully blend in with the surroundings, maintaining the oceanic atmosphere while controlling the noise level for visitors.
A room designed for practicing an instrument is not complete without acoustic solutions.

The custom Red Alder wood grain finish creates a sense of warmth and invites people into the rooms while working to decrease noise and echo. Now guests can enjoy a meal, play music, or simply converse in a relaxing and acoustically tuned environment.
The Lake Forest Civic Center in Lake Forest, CA was designed with acoustics in mind. The open event spaces, wide corridors, and lofty auditoriums would be places prone to noise, and the architects realized this from the beginning.

The slight angles in the ceiling create a decorative motif that is carried throughout the buildings. The Civic Center is a stunning example of acoustic solutions working in tandem with design.

Thanks to our ability to color match paint, Candid could use their specific palette to stay on brand and designate distinct workspaces.
