Acoustical solutions for a new luxury hotel and condominium building
The historically-protected Max Barnett Furniture store on Carondelet Street in the South Market District of New Orleans was fully renovated into hotel guestrooms and amenities for the Ace Hotel, along with the conversion of an adjacent parking lot to event space, music rooms, reception halls, and retail space. AKRF provided acoustical consulting services for the project, including a complete review of noise associated with rooftop activities impacting adjacent residential buildings; review of partitions, doors, floors, and ceilings in all noise critical spaces to address vertical and horizontal airborne and impact sound isolation requirements between spaces; and design input on room acoustics within the large event, music venue, and restaurant spaces.
