The Viseca office is designed around a broad understanding of workplace comfort. Across its office areas, Barcol-Air uses different climate ceiling solutions depending on room type, internal loads and performance requirements. This allows individual offices, meeting rooms, open-plan areas, the cafeteria and the call centre to be treated according to how they are actually used.

In the call centre, the demands are especially specific. Speech is constant, occupancy is concentrated and comfort needs to remain steady throughout the day. The climate ceiling supports heating and cooling through the ceiling surface, while the hybrid system contributes to air supply and thermal performance. Together, they help create a controlled indoor climate without turning the ceiling into a visibly overloaded technical layer.

Call centres concentrate sound. Even when every conversation is measured and professional, many voices in one open room can quickly become tiring. People need to hear clearly, speak without strain and stay focused over long working periods.

The acoustic baffles made from ARCHISONIC® Felt add absorption directly above the work area, close to the conversations below. Their purpose is not to divide the room into isolated acoustic pockets, but to make a shared, speech-intensive environment feel more stable and ordered.

The combination with Barcol-Air’s climate ceiling expertise is technically meaningful. The PET felt baffles support acoustic absorption where speech and higher-frequency sound are especially present, while the surrounding ceiling system contributes to the broader acoustic and climatic performance of the room. Together, the two layers create a more complete comfort strategy than either one could provide on its own.

The real strength of the project lies in the coordination above the workstation. Baffle layout, climate ceiling performance, air supply, access and services all had to remain compatible. The acoustic layer could not simply be added at the end, it had to be planned as part of the same ceiling logic.

This makes the project a precise collaboration between two Swiss companies with complementary expertise. Barcol-Air brings its knowledge of climate ceilings, hybrid systems and room comfort. Impact Acoustic contributes lightweight acoustic elements made from ARCHISONIC® Felt, a material that can be cut precisely, mounted with clarity and integrated without hiding the technical system behind it.

This makes the project a precise collaboration between two Swiss companies with complementary expertise. Barcol-Air brings its knowledge of climate ceilings, hybrid systems and room comfort. Impact Acoustic brings its in-house team of architects, designers and Computational Design specialists, translating the requirements of the space into a bespoke ceiling solution made from upcycled materials. Each acoustic element is lightweight, precisely cut and coordinated to work with the climate ceiling rather than covering it.

The result is a custom overhead system in which acoustic performance, technical integration and visual order are developed together.
