The entrance lobby acquired a distinctive industrial character through the use of Hunter Douglas expanded metal, finished in elegant white. This material became the defining visual feature of the space, perfectly complementing the architectural concept while adding depth and texture.

In entrance areas, managing reverberation time is essential to ensure acoustic comfort. While expanded metal alone does not provide acoustic absorption, its perforated structure allows sound waves to pass through the surface. This creates an opportunity to integrate sound-absorbing materials discreetly behind the metal panels, delivering high acoustic performance without compromising the design intent.

The project demonstrates how Hunter Douglas expanded metal can combine aesthetic impact with functional performance, offering architects a solution that unites industrial expression with acoustic excellence.
