The problem
For the new offices of construction promoter Saelens - Vandenberge in the Ijzerstraat in Aalter, Ivo Vandenberge was looking for adequate acoustic solutions. The floor plans of the new offices included many glass partitions, and the entrance hall would continue into the open space with a conference table and some desks. Without acoustic solutions, this open space would have had to contend with poor intelligibility during meetings, due to noise from the entrance hall. In turn, the individual offices would have to deal with enormous reflections of (telephone) conversations on the glass walls.
