Designing a space with a sensitivity toward sound and hearing can be one of the most rewarding decisions one can make when it comes to design. Whether you are minimizing sounds from the busy world outside or trying to draw them into your home, the sounds we hear in a space directly impact its personality and overall ambiance.
