Acoustic Design in Leisure, Retail and Mixed Use

Leisure, retail and mixed use developments have been a strong growth area in acoustics for some considerable time and Hann Tucker has been at the forefront throughout. As a result, we have unrivalled experience gained from numerous developments containing various combinations of uses including retail, restaurants, public houses, nightclubs, casinos, multiplex cinemas, bowling, hotel and residential.

Hann Tucker Associates is entirely familiar with the acoustic design requirements of each type of tenant, some of which are extremely onerous. A high level of low frequency noise is a common issue, which is inherently difficult to control in modern lightweight buildings unless tackled properly. The consequences of inadequate acoustic design can be disastrous. Our knowledge of the pitfalls and cost effective solutions is often invaluable, as is our experience in building technology and associated "value engineering".

Hann Tucker Associates is able to provide assistance at all stages of a development, from planning to occupation. Such advice could include, but not be limited to, preparing Environmental Assessments and Tenants Handbooks along with close liaison with the Architect, Services Consultant and the Structural Engineer.
