Custom Shaped Acoustical Nuvola Clouds inside Forham Law Hall

Uniquely curved and shaped Nuvola® fiberglass ceiling panels, Quadrillo® wood veneered acoustic ceiling and wall panels and Claro® fiberglass panels installed into Ceilencio® suspension system manufactured by Decoustics are an ideal solution to the interior design and acoustic challenges of Fordham University Lincoln Center Campus, Law School and Residence Hall in New York City.

Claro built auditorium.

Curved convex and concave Nuvola® clouds deliver great acoustical performance inside Carroll County Public Safety Training Center. Clouds absorb noise and ensure clear speech is carried from the podium to the listener’s ear all the way at the back of the lecture hall. Panels only partially cover the ceiling to visually create a wave effect. Installation was quick and easy using an adjustable hook and wire cable suspension.

Library with sloped white ceiling

Nuvola® acoustical fiberglass clouds are sloping in opposite directions to deliver a playful appearance inside the library of Lions Gate Hospital. Nuvola® is very lightweight and in this case suspended by only 2 wires to hold the design intent. The clouds have great acoustical benefits and ensure lingering noises are absorbed preventing them from traveling through the library and creating a pleasant reading atmosphere.

Cafeteria with sloped white ceiling

Claro® fiberglass panels, Ceilencio® suspension grid and butterfly clips are an ideal solution to the complex undulating ceiling design challenges for the new Temple University, Food Court in Philadelphia, PA. Manufactured to the specifications of MGA Partners, Architects of Philadelphia, PA., the ceiling panels provide visual interest during the day and a striking lighting element when seen from outside at night. The custom Ceilencio® suspension system grid and butterfly clips allowed for the 1/8” reveals making the design and installation a success.

Design intent called for a fluid shape of the ceiling with thick floating segments. The seams between the panels had to align perfectly from one segment to another to create a clean continous transition between the reveals. Panel edges were finished with Design Returns to visually add depth and conceal the suspension for the polished floating effect.

Unique leaf design ceiling with acoustical properties from Decoustics floats above Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. Taking inspiration from its surroundings, the ceiling design for the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens new visitors’ center atrium is designed to resemble a large, inverted, free-floating palm leaf, assembled from several slopping triangular panels of Decoustics Claro in a suspended reveal system. Planning the space as a premier event venue, the architect specified custom panels with high sound absorption and light reflectance to ensure excellent acoustics and day lighting. Using digital 3D modeling software and detailed drawings, the ceilings contractor brought the complex design to life.
