When Trivest Plaza in Coral Gables, sought to revamp their employee spaces, they aimed to create environments that balanced productivity with comfort. Two critical areas—the employee break room and a dedicated work area—required innovative sound management solutions to minimize distractions and enhance well-being.

The design team at Interior Architects (IA) turned to Ridge SoftenUp acoustic felt ceiling frames for their ability to blend exceptional soundscaping with striking visual aesthetics.

The installation of Ridge SoftenUp frames transformed the employee break room and work area:

  • Enhanced Acoustic Comfort: Employees reported a noticeable reduction in noise levels, making conversations more manageable and the work environment more conducive to focus.
  • Elevated Aesthetics: The ceiling frames added depth and texture, creating visually engaging ceilings that drew the eye and enhanced the spaces’ overall appeal.
  • Improved Employee Experience: The combination of soundscaping and design uplifted the atmosphere, contributing to a more welcoming and productive environment.
