A quiet cafe for a premier government institution

For the ceiling the architects opted for Subtex KSL which has a unique microperforated microtextured vinyl surface finish, just perfect for a cafetaria environment and for the walls they opted for one of Anutone’s most successful products – Slats Surco.
Outcomes
Subtex KSL panels sit cosy in the waffle slab and absorb most of the sound waves that strike incident to their surface whereas the Slats Surco provide gentle sound diffusion and absorption. A perfect hang out joint to while away time or to have quick, short conversations.
