Ciccio Sicilian Osteria serves Sicilian cuisine on one of Perth’s most popular dining strips. Its open kitchen lets diners watch the chefs cook with fresh, local produce.
The problem
The open kitchen is part of the experience, but it also added a lot of noise to a room with high ceilings and hard surfaces.
What we did
- Installed 8 x 50 mm Autex QuietSpace panels on each end wall, finished to complement, not compete with, the murals on the opposite walls.
- Hung 20 black 50 mm AAB acoustic baffles from the ceiling, ideal for restaurants with high ceilings.
The result
A more pleasant acoustic ambience: diners keep the theatre of the open kitchen without the noise taking over.
Tip from Nigel: high ceilings trap noise. Baffles hung in the space catch it from both sides.
