Project overview
Maker is a co-working and product development space where startups and creators can develop and test physical products using different machines and equipment. As part of the workspace, there was a need to reduce the noise generated by a CNC machine used within the facility. To improve acoustic comfort for the people working in the shared environment, Insutex TexBatt 37 Bio was used to sound insulate a dedicated room surrounding the machine.
Since the space is shared by multiple people working on different types of projects throughout the day, reducing sound transfer became an important part of creating a more comfortable working atmosphere without interrupting the open and collaborative nature of the space.
TexBatt 37 Bio was used to reduce noise propagation from the CNC machine area into the surrounding workspace, helping create a more comfortable acoustic environment for people working throughout the space on a daily basis.
The acoustic room was integrated into an active maker-space used by startups, creators, and product developers working with physical prototypes, machinery, and different types of product testing and development.
The collaboration emerged through local architecture and innovation networks, highlighting the growing interest in alternative material solutions and acoustic-focused design within creative and shared workspaces.
Project impact
Beyond the acoustic improvements, the project also demonstrates how existing textile resources can be given a second life within modern workspaces and product development environments. By transforming textile waste into insulation materials, the installation shows how alternative material solutions can be integrated into practical, everyday applications rather than becoming discarded waste.
The project reflects a more thoughtful approach to material use, where performance, functionality, and resource reuse become part of the same solution within an active and collaborative working environment.
Impact
140 kg
of total textile waste saved with this project.
Final result
The final installation created a more acoustically balanced environment within the Maker workspace while remaining naturally integrated into the overall product development setting. By reducing noise levels around the CNC machine area, the solution supports a more comfortable daily experience for the people using the space.
The project demonstrates how bio-based and recycled materials can be integrated into functional work environments without compromising performance or usability. The result is a solution that supports both improved acoustics and a more responsible use of resources in modern workplaces and innovation environments.
