Noise is the metropolis's main pollutant. In 2026, silence has become currency, and 'correct sound' — medicine. We design lobbies as sound therapy instruments. Using directional Audio Spotlight speakers and acoustic metamaterials, we create zones where background music is tuned to 432 Hz, which research shows reduces anxiety and normalizes heart rate. Learn how to turn a booming hall into a Zen space.
Metamaterials: Silence Without Thickness
Previously, soundproofing required thick wool layers. Today, we use acoustic metamaterials — thin films with honeycomb nanostructure that dampen up to 90% of street noise. We integrate them directly into reception desk facades and glass partitions. This creates an effect of 'library silence' steps away from a busy highway while preserving design airiness.
Binaural Beats
Sonic Anesthesia
In waiting areas of premium clinics and banks, we implement a generative soundscape with binaural beats. This barely audible pulsation synchronizes brain hemispheres, inducing a light trance state in the guest. The reception becomes a stress-relief point. The acoustic system is tuned individually: an invigorating rhythm (Beta waves) at the entrance, a relaxing one (Theta waves) in the lounge.
