The restaurant

Acqua E Farina is on Keong Saik Road, one of Singapore's busiest dining streets. The job covered the ceiling and the walls of the dining room. It used about 20 or more panels in total.

Why busy restaurants get loud

In any busy dining room, voices bounce off hard walls, floors and ceilings. Each table talks louder to be heard, and the room gets louder still. This is the problem the treatment set out to fix. See why restaurants get noisy.

What we installed

We installed custom ceiling clouds and wall panels. There were about 20 or more panels in total. Clouds were used because the ceiling is the biggest hard surface in a dining room.

Why custom panels

Custom sizes let panels suit the shape of a room. Custom panels are made to order in about 4–6 weeks. They come in the same 39 fabric colours as our standard panels.

The result

Guests can now talk without shouting. The aim was control, not silence, so the room can still feel lively. That is the goal for most restaurants.

What other restaurants can learn

Start with the ceiling, because it is the biggest hard surface. Add panels on one of each pair of facing walls. A 10 × 6 m restaurant usually needs 28 to 38 panels, which is S$5,180 to S$7,030 installed. See restaurant too loud? what fixes it.

Why clouds plus wall panels

At Acqua E Farina on Keong Saik Road, we used custom ceiling clouds plus wall panels, about 20+ panels in all. Clouds hang below the ceiling, so they catch sound above the tables. Now guests can talk without shouting.

How a similar job runs

Start with photos and a short video taken during service; quotes from photos are free. Panels are made to order in about 4–6 weeks, and most installs take a few hours to 1–2 days. Start with a free virtual assessment by phone or WhatsApp; a site visit is usually free when the project is a good fit. We work Monday to Saturday in working hours; night and Sunday installs are possible with a surcharge, quoted case by case.

What we see on real jobs
