Pernod Ricard produces and distributes a wide variety of distilled beverage brands worldwide. Pernod Ricard’s Amsterdam office is located at the NDSM Wharf- a creative community built out of the industrial remnants of Amsterdam’s once thriving, ship building industry. The office was designed by VASD, who effectively preserved the original character of the building, while converting it into a functional office environment.
Materials used for the office include polished concrete, exposed duct work, and glass, balanced with organic accents. In order to control excessive noise, prevalent in a space of this type, K-13 Gray was applied to the ceilings throughout the office. Unlike hard surfaces and materials, which reflect sound, K-13 absorbs echo and reverberation. The application of K-13 makes speech more intelligible, controls back ground noise, and increase overall sound quality. In addition to acoustic performance, K-13 provides thermal value while complimenting the industrial design objectives, and color palate.

Excessive Noise can be detrimental in the workplace. These types of areas require special attention to acoustics. In addition to being a distraction, excess noise decreases productivity, inhibits communication, increases workplace accidents and aggressive behavior.
Despite growing awareness of workplace noise, sound levels in offices across the nation are on the rise. The reason for this is in part design, specifically the use of many hard surfaces and materials. Sounds generated by HVAC equipment, phone calls, exterior noise, communication equipment, activities, etc. are reflected off these surfaces, creating endless echo, reverberation, unwanted noise.
Unlike hard surfaces and materials which reflect sounds, ICC’s line of high-performance, spray-applied, acoustic & thermal finishes absorb echo, reverberation and unwanted noise. Spray-applied to the ceiling- the most reflective surface aside from the floor, these products deliver optimum acoustic performance.
