Silence Archive

Silence Archive

Commercial

A private archive facility designed to isolate its occupants completely from the noise of the surrounding metropolis.

Challenge

The site was located next to a major transit hub, presenting intense vibrational and acoustic pollution.

Approach

Building a room-within-a-room structure floating on neoprene isolators, clad in staggered acoustic stone blocking.

Solution

A perfectly silent monolithic volume that offers a profound sensory deprivation experience in the heart of the city.
