Quiet Studio is a temporary interior installation presented in Collingwood for NGV’s Melbourne Design Week 2025. Conceived as a sculptural acoustic chamber it offers visitors a meditative environment that quiets the senses within a vibrant urban setting.
The project emerged through a transdisciplinary collaboration between Studiobird, Autex Acoustics and Universal Practice blending evidence-based design wellness science and sustainable materials into one cohesive experience.
Independent acoustic testing revealed a 70 percent improvement in speech intelligibility and a 90 percent reduction in reverberation times delivering measurable reductions in stress. Visitors engage in guided meditations and sound therapy within this transformative calming space.
