Sculptural Acoustics for an Atrium Feature Wall in a Shared Office
In Auckland’s newest shared workplace, the atrium needed more than just a visual statement. dbsorb and Jasmax created a dynamic feature wall of dbFin acoustic baffles that shifts with every viewpoint. Designed with zero waste and recycled content, the installation proves that acoustic solutions can be both sustainable and sculptural - a precedent for architects rethinking the role of acoustics in design.
A Living Building Challenge Fit-out Inside a Heritage Landmark
Inside Wellington’s historic Old Bank Arcade, Meridian Energy’s HQ combines heritage character with cutting-edge sustainability. dbsorb supplied demountable, reusable acoustic panels that meet zero-glue and ultra-low VOC requirements, enabling circular design, high-performance acoustics, and future adaptability in a Living Building Challenge-certified workspace.
Panels to Placemaking: Elevating Function into Experience
At Fonterra’s new Hamilton headquarters, acoustics weren’t treated as an afterthought. Using dbsorb's dbPrint™ on Decosorb panels, cultural storytelling and brand identity were embedded directly into the walls. The result is a workplace where sound control feels invisible - acoustic panels that read as art, not add-ons.
