HARD ROCK
A mixture of Oscar’s SonaSpray fc and
SonaSpray fcx was specified throughout the
bar and café areas, providing a seamless
and decorative solution. The spray absorbs
excessive noise, creating a pleasant ambience
by giving clarity to speech and music,
transforming what would otherwise have been
an incessant din.
The trowelled, seamless, SonaSpray fcx finish
also made sure the acoustic treatment would
not intrude on the overall design, and instead
blended into the background. In line with Hard
Rock’s signature style, the GMT bar used
the idea of a 70s record player as inspiration,
where the vinyl is held aloft and then drops
into place. To accommodate this design choice,
SonaSpray fc was applied in black.
RESULTS
David Mason, director, Scott Brownrigg “Our
experience over the years teaches us that
architecture and interior design are so much
more than just looks. We consider every factor
with each project we work on, and acoustics is
no exception. We knew we needed a premium
acoustic product that would also work with
our designs, which is why we chose Oscar
Acoustics.”

Acoustics comments, “This was such a
wonderful opportunity to work with a world-
famous brand on a brilliantly innovative and
creative project. It’s always great to see a
practice taking acoustics into account right
from the start. Too often design is entirely
focused on aesthetics, with noise taking a
back seat. Thankfully this was not the case and
Scott Brownrigg have skilfully designed an
acoustically comfortable space perfect for live
music, retaining its atmospheric buzz”.
