Acoustic Alchemy
Leicester, United Kingdom
Project Featured on Apr 19, 2016
The living, dining and kitchen areas of this 2-storey semi-detached house have been designed as
one large AV and entertainment space, efficiently soundproofed by double glazed sliding-folding
doors. The two side walls that flank this space were intentionally built to taper towards the rear.
This creates a slightly funnelled space that not only enhances the acoustic qualities of the room
but also enables storage niches along the thicker ends of the walls to house hi-fi equipment. The
client's massive sculptural horn speakers anchor the front end of the space and an outdoor
terrace and lap pool anchor the rear. On the second storey, bedroom windows are recessed into
curved walls which protrude subtly from the blank facade, recalling the form of the client's horn
speakers. A large skylight on the roof illuminates the second storey hallway glass floor and
transmit light into the first storey living room as well. On the RC flat roof, a layer of turfing
efficiently insulates the house against heat.
