Renovation of theatre hall De Valkaart: An acoustic transformation
Theatre hall De Valkaart in Oostkamp, which first opened its doors in 1994, recently underwent a significant renovation to modernise both aesthetically and functionally. This update, completed in January 2023, is a paragon of contemporary design combined with top-class acoustics.
Innovation through acoustic panels
Central to the renovation was the installation of Print Acoustics Type Ls m panels. These consist of solid slats of Hévéa on a Bico Black acou PET felt, designed to effectively correct reverberation and provide optimal sound absorption (alpha w= 0.95). These panels are not only functional but also enhance the visual impact of the room due to their discreet aesthetics.
Synergy in design and functionality
The renovation was expertly executed by Detrac NV, with the design provided by Antwerp-based Bureau Adam and financed by the municipality of Oostkamp. This collaboration highlights the synergy between innovative acoustic solutions and architectural design. Every detail, from door frames to integrated LED lighting, integrates seamlessly with the overall design.
Sustainability and aesthetics
A key aspect of the renovation was an emphasis on sustainability and contemporary design, fitting within an ecologically responsible approach. The materials used and construction techniques reflect a modern vision of public spaces that are both user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing.
An inspiring realisation
The transformation of Theatre Hall De Valkaart is a perfect example of how Triplacoustics meets the challenges of modern acoustic requirements. It provides an inspiring blueprint for future projects in similar environments. This project demonstrates not only the technical capabilities of Triplacoustics products, but also their potential to completely transform and enrich a space.
