A key element of our scope was noise control for major mechanical equipment relative to neighbouring properties. In a dense urban neighbourhood like Yorkville, mechanical systems serving a nine-storey residential building must be carefully managed to avoid noise impacts on adjacent properties. Our team developed recommendations for equipment selection, placement, and treatment to meet applicable noise criteria.
Within the building, our team addressed noise and vibration control between mechanical rooms, suites, service spaces, and amenity areas. The variety of spaces in a full-service luxury condominium—from underground parking to penthouse suites—creates a complex acoustic environment that requires a systematic approach to sound isolation design. Our recommendations informed construction assemblies and detailing across the building’s structure.
Sound isolation between suites was addressed to a standard appropriate for a building of this calibre. Occupants of a luxury condominium in Yorkville have a reasonable expectation of acoustic privacy, and our team’s work ensured that the construction delivered on that expectation. The completed building stands as a demonstration that acoustic performance can be a defining attribute of residential quality, not simply a code compliance exercise.
