Audio Consultancy, London
Architectural sound design
We design sound systems, acoustic strategy and integrated audio environments for hospitality, residential and cultural spaces.
Sound designed in, not added on.
Architectural sound design means the acoustics and the system are resolved from the first drawing, coordinated to the room rather than retrofitted into a finished one. We work for hospitality operators, private clients, and the architects and designers building for them.
Sound is a measurable line on the P&L.
Revenue lift when music fits the brand, versus a random popular playlist.
HUI Research and Soundtrack Your Brand, field study across 1.8 million transactions.
Longer dining duration under slower tempo, the mechanism behind higher spend per table.
Milliman, restaurant music research.
The wrong music performs worse than no music at all. Silence beats a mismatched playlist.
HUI Research and Soundtrack Your Brand.
Above roughly 80 dB, loud rooms measurably flatten food, suppressing sweetness and saltiness.
Oxford Crossmodal Research Laboratory.
These are measured outcomes, not atmosphere. The Cognitive Load Index is how we design for them, room by room.
What it costs
Sound belongs in the operating strategy, designed in from the first drawing.
Sound left to chance
A room that is uncomfortable to talk in shortens visits, suppresses spend, discourages return and surfaces in the reviews that decide whether the next guest books at all.
Sound designed early
Designed early and well, sound lengthens stays, lifts spend, protects your reviews and makes the room unmistakably yours.

Claude's at Chotto Matte
Company: Sonic Design Studios | Location: London, UK
Mondo-DR featured the Claude's at Chotto Matte installation as a case study in design led audio integration. A sculptural Pequod Acoustics system sits embedded within a controlled basement hospitality interior, where architecture, operation and audio are tuned as a single piece.
