Overview
Project Summary
HospitalityCorporate
A flagship urban fitness club where high-energy programming sits directly above and beside residential and office tenants in a mixed-use Brickell tower.
Floating-floor and isolated wall assemblies were engineered to contain impact and structure-borne noise from group fitness, free weights, and cardio decks.
Music distribution and intelligible paging were designed for the open studio plan, balancing high-energy class playback with comfort across the broader gym floor.

02
Isolated the high-impact zones
Designed floating floors, resilient walls, and equipment-specific isolation for free weights, turf, and cycling rooms.
03
Tuned the audio environment
Specified zoned music and paging so high-energy classes coexist with calmer recovery and lounge areas.
04
Validated in the building
Measured impact and airborne transfer to adjacent tenants and adjusted treatments to meet the building's residential standards.
