Sound Solutions for Multi-family Living: Insights from Gensler’s Latest Study

Creating spaces that feel like home while fostering community and privacy is paramount in multi-family design. According to Gensler Research Institute’s latest study, sound quality is one of the top concerns for residents in shared living spaces. Unwanted noise impacts everything from productivity to mental well-being, making acoustics a crucial element in the design of these environments. Sound management doesn’t just improve comfort—it builds a foundation for satisfaction and long-term residence.
