Avila improves room acoustics in partnership with Vicoustic

Avila Spaces was recognized in 2023 as the Best Cowork in the World at the Global Startup Awards. With three locations in Lisbon - Saldanha, Avenida da República, and Parque das Nações - it is one of the oldest, most recognized, and awarded Flexoffices in Europe and the most awarded in Portugal.

Vicoustic is a worldwide renowned manufacturer of acoustic solutions that takes its sound treatment expertise to the offices of Avila Spaces. Following a detailed acoustic treatment case study by professional Acousticians and Designers, an auditorium and open office of Avila’s latest coworking space, in Edificio Expo, Lisbon, was treated with sustainable acoustic panels, mostly produced from recycled plastic bottles. 

A VicBooth Office Phone Booth, a reference in sound insulation, was also installed in the space, allowing users to find a private space for their phone calls or videoconferences, in a quiet and good-sounding environment. With this collaboration with Vicoustic, Avila Spaces is showcasing the importance of room acoustics and sound insulation in workspaces and offices. 

«Vicoustic panels guarantee us the highest quality standards, while also meeting our requirements from an environmental sustainability point of view, which is increasingly valued by our clients.»

Carlos Gonçalves, CEO of Avila Spaces, says: "Vicoustic is an international reference in the furniture and acoustic materials field, so we are very proud to establish this partnership. With the growth of remote meetings and the massification of videoconferencing, comfortable ‘phone booths’ are essential with all the privacy conditions for our clients. With the growth of shared workspaces, it is important that we acoustically treat the rooms. Vicoustic panels guarantee us the highest quality standards, while also meeting our requirements from an environmental sustainability point of view, which is increasingly valued by our clients. Being a Portuguese company with a strong international presence, this collaboration agreement makes even more sense." 

César Carapinha, CEO of Vicoustic, says: "We first met Carlos Gonçalves when Avila Spaces was a startup, and immediately fell in love with his vision and concept. His attention to details, and making sure acoustics and design are just right to create a perfect environment, was the catalyst for our companies to connect. It's a hard task to combine a relaxed and unpretentious workspace that feels just like home, and no one in the coworking business is doing it so well as Avila Spaces. Well done Avila Spaces, for all National and International achievements.”
