The 2nd chapter of an exceptional club
REUNION - DUBAI | Architectural Acoustics + Soundproofing + Tailored Audio Solution
When it comes to working on a "blank canvas" project, it doesn't get any better than this, and the result speaks for itself.
A full box-in-box soundproofing nestles the club intimately right next to the group's other venue Soul Kitchen and ensures no sound spillage occurs between the two venues.
Tailor-designed acoustics treatment ensures the club's sonic environment is well tamed and ready to host one of the world's most sonically clear loudspeaker, one which design has not changed one bit since 1972!
CHALLENGES
- Blocking club sound levels at all frequencies from reaching the hotel above
- Creating a superior quality acoustics environment
- Designing a crisp and clean sound system
STRATEGIES
- Box-in-box soundproofing of floor, walls, and ceiling to structurally isolate the venue and control both airborne and structure-borne noise transmission
- Dual acoustic tunnel systems used as transition buffers between the venue and the exterior, as well as between the venue and Soul Kitchen, to prevent direct sound leakage
- Extensive acoustic absorption applied to the ceiling and wall surfaces using perforated metal panels backed with closed-cell polyethylene absorbers to manage reverberation and control buildup at high sound levels
- Stage Accompany sound system concentrated above the DJ position for the main and VIP areas, with subwoofers embedded directly within the concrete DJ booth to maximize impact while maintaining spatial control


SOUNDPROOFING LAYOUTS AND SECTIONS


Reunion is a high-intensity nightlife venue where sound containment, structural isolation, and internal acoustic control were central to the architectural design. The project required an integrated approach combining soundproofing, absorption, and system design to support high sound pressure levels while minimizing impact beyond the venue boundaries.
