We provide residential and architectural acoustic design focused on comfort, clarity and quiet. Our work integrates noise control and sound insulation into practical, buildable architecture.
Acoustic design that looks and feels like home.
Acoustic comfort without compromise.
Home acoustics go beyond “soundproofing.” We design quiet, balanced rooms that fit your architecture — from bedrooms and studies to living spaces. Solutions are integrated into joinery, ceilings and textiles for a refined, residential feel.
- Bedroom and apartment noise isolation (Rw and Rw+Ctr improvements)
- Open-plan and dining reverberation control (RT60 optimisation)
- Home office and studio acoustic treatments
- Home cinema layout and tuning
- Practical retrofit strategies for existing homes
- Lower background noise for easier sleep and focus
- Clearer conversation in hard-surface kitchens and dining
- Controlled, immersive sound in listening rooms and theatres
Buildable acoustic design for architecture and interiors.
We collaborate with architects, designers and builders from concept to completion — aligning acoustic intent with materiality, lighting and services. The goal: details that preserve design language while delivering measurable performance.
- Early-stage acoustic strategy and documentation
- Wall, floor and ceiling systems with flanking control
- Mechanical and services noise management (AS/NZS 2107)
- DA acoustic reports and certification support (NCC F7, AAAC)
- On-site reviews and verification testing
We provide mark-ups, detail packs and clear specifications so trades can execute efficiently. Early coordination reduces risk and protects the design language — especially in premium residential projects.
Experience that bridges architecture, interiors and acoustics.
Nicholas Marriott began his career on building sites before specialising in architectural acoustics and sustainable design. That dual perspective — understanding how materials go together and how sound moves through them — shapes every project.
With master’s degrees in Audio & Acoustics and Sustainable Design, Nicholas bridges science and aesthetics to achieve acoustic comfort without compromise. The approach is research-based yet practical: early design advice, clear documentation and buildable details that respect both architecture and budget.

Soundproofing reduces noise transmission between spaces. Acoustic treatment improves how sound behaves within a room. Most homes benefit from a balance of both.
Can acoustics be integrated during design?
Yes — early collaboration with your architect avoids costly retrofits and ensures solutions complement materials and lighting.
Do you work on apartments and heritage homes?
Absolutely. We specialise in discreet upgrades that preserve architectural character while improving privacy and comfort.
What standards guide your work?
We reference NCC F7, AS/NZS 2107 for internal sound levels, and AAAC guidelines for residential performance.
