Downtown Los Angeles Law Firm — Conference Center

A 35th-floor conference center with six glass-walled meeting rooms inside a single open floor plate. Confidential client conversation was the brief; commercial FR and ADA-compliant operation were the constraints.

Floor-to-ceiling drapery wrapping each glass meeting room on the interior side. Acoustic linen on motorized commercial track, addressable per room from a building management system. Closed drapery delivers visual privacy and measurable acoustic separation; open drapery preserves the open-plan aesthetic.

Inherent FR linen-look acoustic weave, 16 oz., density-specified for mid-frequency absorption at speech range. Topical FR disqualified for commercial-occupancy life-safety standards.

Commercial-grade Forest Group motorized track, hardwired to the BMS. Switches at each meeting-room entry and master override at the reception desk.

Six identical specifications per room for maintenance simplicity. Track installed during the tenant improvement; concealed from the open-plan side by a 4-inch architectural reveal.

Measured 18 dB STC improvement with drapery drawn — adequate for confidential conversation against ambient open-plan noise. My recommendation for commercial conference space: privacy is acoustic before it is visual. Specify the fabric and the coverage to the acoustic target.
