Calm in style – new smooth acoustic ceilings at Ascot Hotel
Calm in style – new smooth acoustic ceilings at Ascot Hotel – A sound-dampening upgrade to classic luxury In the heart of Copenhagen, where the pulse of the city hums just outside the windows, lies Ascot Hotel – a four-star hotel where classic charm meets modern comfort. Here, guests step into a world of refined luxury, personal service, and historical details. But even the most beautiful interior can lose its magic if the acoustics don’t live up to modern standards. That’s why Ascot Hotel has just installed new smooth acoustic ceilings from Hz Acoustic – an upgrade that matches the hotel’s high standards both aesthetically and functionally. Smooth acoustic ceilings – elegant and effective sound absorption In a hotel environment, good acoustics are not just a luxury; they are a necessity. Guests must be able to relax, talk, and enjoy the tranquility behind the classic walls. That’s why Ascot chose a combination of Hz Basic 007 and Hz Flex 019 – two types of acoustic panels that together create a sound-dampening ceiling with both strong performance and a discreet appearance. Hz Basic 007 consists of 40 mm mineral wool combined with a 9 mm glass granulate panel, ensuring high sound absorption. Hz Flex 019 is a flexible 20 mm foam panel that can be adapted to even complex surfaces and corners – perfect for a historic building with unique details and special design requirements. The entire surface is finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, creating a uniform and smooth acoustic ceiling without visible joints or seams. The result is a ceiling that visually blends with the architecture while acoustically creating calm in the room. History meets modern standards Ascot Hotel’s building still bears clear traces of its past as a public bathhouse. The classical reliefs with bathing motifs tell the story of another era and for that reason, it was essential to choose an acoustic solution that respects the building’s historical expression. With support from sub-consultant ERIK Arkitekter, a solution was created where modern requirements for fire safety and acoustic performance go hand in hand with respect for the building’s original aesthetics. The result is an atmospheric space where every room feels welcoming and calm – exactly what guests expect from a hotel of this class. The installation was carried out by our skilled partner DK Akustik, ensuring precision and craftsmanship at every stage. An investment in comfort and quality A sound-dampening ceiling makes a noticeable difference – not only in the experience but also in the overall quality of a stay. At Ascot Hotel, they understand that true luxury today is about the total impression: from morning coffee to a good night’s sleep, every moment should feel complete. That’s why smooth acoustic ceilings are an investment that goes beyond aesthetics – creating real value for both guests and staff. Would you also like to ensure great acoustics in your space without compromising on design? Then contact one of our skilled installers for guidance and get a solution tailored to your acoustic and aesthetic needs. Good acoustics can both be felt and heard.

Smooth acoustic ceiling in a listed building: Strandgade 104
Smooth acoustic ceiling in a listed building: Strandgade 104 In the heart of Christianshavn, where Copenhagen’s history flows through the canals, Strandgade 104 stands as a carefully transformed property with roots dating back to 1806. The former leather warehouse has now been converted into four exclusive boutique hotel apartments overlooking both the canal and the city’s vibrant atmosphere. Here, history has not just been preserved – it has been highlighted and elevated, with respect for the past and an eye on the future. The property developer Falk-Rønne & Kierkegaard, together with partner Artha, acquired the building in 2022 and began the transformation. Minimal intervention with maximum effect The renovation of the fully listed building was carried out in close collaboration with architect David Thulstrup and the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces. This demanded a high level of care in both materials and solutions – especially when it came to acoustics. In listed buildings, nothing can be lost: every beam, brick, and surface tells a story. That is precisely why the choice fell on Hz Flex-R acoustic panels and Hz Acoustic Plaster 03 from Hz Acoustic. Hz Flex-R is made from recycled foam and is characterized by its flexibility and low thickness of just 15 mm. This makes it possible to preserve and highlight the many visible beams that define the building’s character, without letting the ceiling dominate the space. An acoustic ceiling in a listed building that blends seamlessly with the architecture When it comes to older and listed buildings, modern solutions must take a step back – without compromising comfort. With Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, a smooth acoustic ceiling is achieved that naturally blends with the room’s other surfaces. The white plastered finish reflects light and accentuates the details of the restored materials without drawing attention away from them. The result is an acoustic solution that works discreetly. Guests and residents feel the difference through the comfortable sound and visual calm, even if they don’t see it. Design vision with respect for history Architect David Thulstrup describes the ambition as a desire to bring the future into the past – without imitating it. By working with a limited palette of materials, including Dinesen planks, Sørensen leather, and Finnish granite stone, he has succeeded in creating a dialogue between old and new that is neither nostalgic nor intrusive. Our contribution to the project’s acoustics plays a discreet yet crucial role in this overall balance. When acoustics and aesthetics work hand in hand, a special sense of calm emerges – and that is exactly the feeling experienced in the apartments at Strandgade 104. An acoustic ceiling in a listed building must not only meet modern sound standards; it must also integrate respectfully with the building’s history. Our solution here does exactly that. We are proud to be part of a project where preservation and renewal meet in perfect harmony. Are you interested in a smooth acoustic ceiling for a listed building?

Divine calm with Hz Flex acoustic ceiling
Divine calm with Hz Flex acoustic ceiling – Flexible acoustic panels create peace in motion How do you build a church that can be moved, inspire reflection, and invite presence – all at once? That is the question that Tiny Office and Aarhus Vestre Provsti have answered with a unique project: a mobile church where faith, presence, and sustainability come together in a single space – and where good acoustics have been an integral part of the concept from the very beginning. The church, built in Aarhus, is made from Scandinavian materials, including both recycled and newly developed products. The mobile structure is not only a practical solution but also an architectural story about how the modern church space can be shaped and experienced in new ways. And with Hz Acoustic’s flexible acoustic panels installed on both walls and ceilings, it has been possible to create a calm and harmonious sound experience – even when on the move. Flexible acoustic panels – perfect for organic shapes For the church, we supplied Hz Flex 017, a 15 mm thick flexible foam acoustic panel ideal for complex surfaces. It can be installed on convex, concave, and organically curved surfaces, making it the perfect choice for Tiny Office’s innovative and curved church design. Hz Flex 017 is lightweight, adaptable, and easy to work with, and when combined with our Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, the result is an acoustic ceiling and wall surface with a smooth finish free from visible joints or seams. The outcome is a calm, uniform surface that allows the room’s form and function to flow freely – without disturbing either the eye or the ear. Acoustic ceiling with minimal loss of height An important consideration in the project was achieving an acoustic ceiling with minimal loss of ceiling height. Since a mobile church offers limited space, it was essential to select a solution that optimizes both acoustics and spatial perception. With a thickness of only 15 mm, Hz Flex 017 is one of the most space-saving solutions available. At the same time, it provides impressive sound absorption, making it ideal for compact spaces where acoustic quality remains a priority. A space for reflection – wherever it is placed As Provost Esben Andersen from Aarhus Vestre Provsti explains: “We want people to come to the church, but as a church, we also want to be present and relevant to people. This is one way we can reach out to where people are.” The church becomes a tool for communication and presence – and with the right acoustic ceiling, it also becomes a space where silence and reflection can find room. This is not only a technical achievement but also a sensory enhancement that makes the experience more complete. Would you like to create calm in complex spaces or work with organic forms? Then flexible acoustic panels and ceilings from Hz Acoustic may be your solution.Contact one of our skilled installers today and get expert advice on the right approach – whether your project is stationary or on the move.

Job satisfaction with a new acoustic ceiling in Storm Carpet’s new showroom
Arbejdsglæde med nyt akustikloft i Storm Carpets nye showroom – An acoustic ceiling made of upcycled foam creates better acoustics and greater job satisfaction At Storm Carpet in Nørrebro, aesthetics, textiles, and tactile surfaces are part of everyday life. In this stylish showroom, architects and designers meet to be inspired by a wide selection of carpets, curtains, upholstery fabrics, and wall coverings. But when several creative minds gather in the same space, the acoustics must keep up – and that became a challenge. Storm Carpet’s showroom is located in a converted drive-through with high ceilings and many hard cement surfaces. This creates a raw, industrial atmosphere – but unfortunately also poor acoustics. Sound bounced between the walls and the floor, and when two conversations took place at once, one would quickly drown in echo. Flexible acoustic panels with environmental awareness The solution was Hz Flex 019-R – a flexible acoustic panel made from 100% upcycled PU foam. The panels are only 20 mm thick, making them ideal for an acoustic ceiling with minimal loss of ceiling height. That was crucial in the tall space, where the architecture and sense of openness had to be preserved. The acoustic panels were finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, creating a completely smooth and uniform surface without visible joints or seams. The result? A discreet, almost invisible acoustic ceiling that doesn’t steal attention from the textile collections but is clearly felt in everyday use. From disturbing echo to a functional showroom CEO Anders Storm explains: “Our showroom in Nørrebro is located in a converted drive-through, with high ceilings and many hard cement surfaces. It looks great but unfortunately creates poor acoustics – especially when several people are gathered. We were recommended Hz Acoustic and received friendly and professional guidance. The result has exceeded all our expectations.” He highlights how the ceiling height has barely been reduced and how the previously disturbing echo has been transformed into calm and improved job satisfaction. The change has also opened up new possibilities for using the showroom – for larger gatherings and meetings alike. “If you’re facing similar challenges – or simply want to improve your work environment – I highly recommend inviting Hz Acoustic into your project considerations.” A ceiling with more than one purpose At Hz Acoustic, we’re proud to contribute to both better sound and sustainable solutions. Hz Flex 019-R is a great example of how flexible acoustic panels can make a difference – not only acoustically but also environmentally. It’s recycling in its finest form: invisible, efficient, and with a clear upgrade to the room’s functionality. Need a new acoustic ceiling for your project? Then contact one of our installers for advice on the right acoustic ceiling for your space. With flexible acoustic panels and sustainable materials, it’s possible to create better sound without compromising on design or ceiling height. This project was completed by our partner DK Akustik.

Foam acoustic panels for an apartment in Torpedohallen, Holmen
Foam acoustic panels for an apartment in Torpedohallen, Holmen In the heart of Copenhagen’s maritime history lies Torpedohallen – a former concrete hall from the 1950s that today houses 67 modern apartments inspired by American lofts. Here, raw constructions meet generous ceiling heights and an informal elegance that is hard to find elsewhere in the city. In one of these characterful homes, Hz Acoustic has delivered a solution where our foam acoustic panels contribute to both functionality and aesthetics – without breaking with the original architectural spirit. The transformation of the former torpedo hall was carried out by the architecture studio Vandkunsten. With respect for the hall’s history and structural elements, the result is a housing project where the old and the new meet in a consistent, uncompromising design language. The apartments are open and spacious with an almost cathedral-like sense of scale, where light, concrete, and glass take center stage. But in such spaces, an acoustic challenge naturally arises – and that’s where Hz Acoustic came into the picture. When design demands discretion The apartment’s open floor plan and curved ceiling surfaces required an acoustic solution that could adapt to the architecture. The choice fell on Hz Flex 019-R, a flexible foam acoustic panel made from 20 mm recycled foam. The panels are specifically developed to follow organic and curved shapes – precisely like those characterizing the interior of Torpedohallen. With low material thickness and high sound absorption, Flex 019-R is ideal for homes where acoustic comfort is desired without compromising on aesthetics or ceiling height. The acoustic panels were then finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, resulting in a smooth and uniform surface completely free of visible joints or seams. The finished ceiling thus appears as a calm, cohesive surface that does not compete with the architecture but instead blends in as a subtle and mood-enhancing element. An apartment full of life, light, and connection The apartment’s owners, Professor Mette Hartlev and Morten Kjærum, Director of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, speak about their home with great enthusiasm. They describe a space that supports both privacy and togetherness – where the architecture invites reflection and where the acoustics contribute to the sense of being able to “breathe” within the rooms. In a home like this, with concrete, glass, and open layouts, poor acoustics can easily take over. But with the use of foam acoustic panels that adapt to the existing forms and a surface finish that creates visual calm, the result is a living space where both body and mind thrive. A project in harmony with its surroundings At Hz Acoustic, we are proud to have supplied the acoustic solution for this distinctive project. Not only because Torpedohallen is an iconic example of sustainable urban transformation, but also because it demonstrates how modern acoustics can be integrated into older constructions with respect for history and architectural integrity.

Acoustic ceiling without limitations at Restaurant Levi
Acoustic ceiling without limitations at Restaurant Levi – A flexible acoustic ceiling that matches design, flavor, and conversation In the heart of vibrant downtown Copenhagen, Restaurant Levi has opened its doors to a dining experience beyond the ordinary. Here, the best of two worlds meet: Italian warmth and Japanese precision, united in a design universe that is as experimental as the menu itself. And just as important as the beautiful materials and subtle details is the atmosphere created in the room – where sound plays a decisive role. But how do you achieve good acoustics in a space full of architectural challenges – not least a ceiling filled with semi-circular domes and organic shapes? The answer: flexible acoustic panels from Hz Acoustic. Good acoustics without limitations Levi’s interiors are a dream for design lovers – and a nightmare for poor acoustics. The semi-circular ceiling shapes and hard surfaces created a clear challenge: how to maintain the aesthetic expression without compromising the sound environment. The solution was our Hz Flex acoustic panels, which, thanks to their flexibility, can easily adapt to both convex and concave surfaces. The panels were used across the entire ceiling, including the many elegant domes, and finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, which provides a smooth, continuous surface without visible seams or joints. The result is an acoustic ceiling that is both invisible and indispensable. From empty space to sensory gathering place Behind Restaurant Levi stand Jesper Boelskifte, Peter Trauboth, and Mikkel Glahn – three experienced figures from Copenhagen’s restaurant scene who wanted to create a new kind of dining house: informal, yet of the highest quality. Designer Johannes Torpe was brought on board, and his vision was clear: the space should be felt – and it should live. The lively bar, the conversations at the tables, and the buzzing atmosphere are not coincidences. It took a ceiling capable of absorbing sound without interfering with the experience. With Hz Flex and Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, the result is a space where both food and conversation have room to unfold. An acoustic ceiling that follows the form Hz Flex is a flexible acoustic panel ideal for spaces where aesthetics and acoustics must go hand in hand. In Levi’s case, the flexible structure made it possible to adapt the ceiling in all its forms while ensuring that guests never have to raise their voices to be heard. Acoustics are often invisible, but at Restaurant Levi, they can be felt in the atmosphere: in the calm of conversation, the intimacy at the tables, and the ability to enjoy food, wine, and company without being overwhelmed by noise. Master the acoustics without compromise At Hz Acoustic, we love when acoustics and aesthetics come together. Restaurant Levi is living proof of how the right acoustic ceiling, using flexible acoustic panels, can elevate the entire experience. Not through grand gestures, but through precision, respect for design, and an understanding of how sound shapes a space. Do you have a project that demands both form and flexibility? Let us help you find the right acoustic solution – for domes, edges, and challenging soundscapes alike. Find an installer near you More references See our other references here.
Acoustic ceiling in a modern apartment in Aarhus C
Acoustic ceiling in a modern apartment in Aarhus C – Flexible acoustic panels provide peace and quiet with minimal loss of ceiling height When you build with concrete, you build strong – but the acoustics are not always ideal. That’s what Lars Mortensen, department director at Fredsted Studio A/S, noticed when he moved into his newly built apartment in Aarhus C. With large rooms, smooth surfaces, and panoramic views of the city, the setting offered modern comfort – but also echoing reverberation. The solution was an acoustic ceiling with flexible acoustic panels from Hz Acoustic. A discreet yet highly effective intervention that transformed the acoustics without disturbing the aesthetics. Acoustic ceiling with minimal loss of height The apartment ceiling is clad with Hz Flex 019 – a flexible foam panel only 20 mm thick. It was developed to create acoustic ceilings with minimal loss of ceiling height, making it ideal for modern apartments where you don’t want to compromise on vertical space. In this case, the panels were glued directly onto the existing concrete ceiling, making installation both simple and quick. Hz Flex 019 is particularly suitable for rooms with hard surfaces such as concrete, glass, and steel, where sound waves otherwise have free rein. The flexible acoustic panels significantly reduce reverberation time, creating a room that feels more comfortable to spend time in – without changing its visual expression. Smooth finish and hidden details The panels were finished with Hz Acoustic Plaster 03, resulting in a completely smooth surface without visible joints or seams. The outcome is an unbroken and elegant ceiling that fits naturally with the apartment’s modern style. An extra aesthetic feature in this project is the integrated curtain rails, running seamlessly and continuously along the walls with window sections. This creates a harmonious transition between wall and ceiling while keeping the panoramic view over Aarhus as the natural focal point. As Lars himself puts it: “It was important to me that the ceiling didn’t draw attention. I wanted to improve the acoustics without compromising the architectural expression – and it has worked perfectly.” A discreet solution with great impact An acoustic ceiling doesn’t have to make noise – visually or practically. With the right solution, aesthetics and function can work hand in hand. In this apartment, Hz Flex 019 and Hz Acoustic Plaster 03 have created a ceiling that both reduces noise and enhances the room’s qualities. Dreaming of calm and quiet without compromising on design? Then flexible acoustic panels and an acoustic ceiling with minimal height loss are the way forward. Contact one of our installers to learn how we can tailor the solution to your home.
