Google Office, Hyderabad

About the Project:

The project involved enhancing the acoustic comfort of Google’s Hyderabad office, focusing on private cabins and meeting rooms. With a strong emphasis on employee wellbeing and productivity, the goal was to achieve high levels of sound insulation without compromising on space or design flexibility.

Requirement:

During the design phase, major concerns included sound leakage through thin drywall partitions, low-frequency noise from HVAC systems, and the need for better speech privacy. Standard partitions couldn’t block these sounds effectively, highlighting the need for an acoustic upgrade.

Solution by Tikidan:

To address the acoustic concerns, Tikidan Danosa’s MAD 4 membrane was selected for integration within the drywall partitions. With a 4 mm thickness and 7 kg/m² mass, it effectively blocked low-frequency sound without adding bulk. Its thin and flexible profile made it ideal for modern drywall systems.

The self-adhesive backing enabled quick, clean installation, while its eco-friendly makeup 60% recycled content and low VOCs supported Google’s green building goals. The installation was enhanced with staggered gypsum boards, sealed overlaps, and perimeter acoustic sealants for maximum sound isolation.

Products used:

MAD 4: 4 mm bitumen-based acoustic membrane; boosts low-frequency insulation by 8-9 dB, STC by 4–5 dB; over 3,000 sqm installed; eco-friendly with 60% recycled content.
