Reverberation in modern houses of worship

Ever since the use of sand stone became inaccessible in the building of large spaces, houses of worship started to suffer acoustically. The beautifully built church of St. Gabriel at Aajaltoun, Lebanon, was no exception.

The acoustic consultants for the project studied the reverberation time, which was immensely hampering the communication inside the church. After the amount of absorption solutions needed was set, it was the lead architect and acoustic experts’ job to find the best design. A design that would match the aesthetics of the space and enhance it.

Vicoustic’s Wavewood was chosen to fill the spaces on the roof. In total, 670 panels did the job in such a way, that we can now enjoy a ceremony in the church from the last seat out back, without any kind of amplification.

This project was developed and installed by 21dB, our partners in Lebanon.
