Project Description
Overview
WSDG’s ongoing collaboration with renowned architectural firm ARQUITECTONICA continues with the Viceroy Residences Fort Lauderdale, a spectacular luxury development by Naftali Group currently in the construction documentation phase. The project design, which commenced in early 2024, represents another milestone in WSDG’s expanding portfolio of high-end residential acoustic consulting. Located in Fort Lauderdale’s desirable and popular metropolitan area, this architecturally striking development features two towers connected by an adjoining atrium, creating a unique and impressive residential complex that demands the highest standards of acoustic performance for its luxury residents.
Program
The Viceroy Residences Fort Lauderdale includes premium amenities such as a spa facility, a high-end gymnasium that includes a decoupled floor system, a karaoke room, a private cinema, and a sound bar, with all those elements requiring meticulous acoustic planning to ensure optimal sound isolation and internal acoustics. The project’s penthouse units, representing multi-million-dollar residences, demand exceptional acoustic protection from mechanical systems located on the rooftop level. WSDG has been engaged exclusively for comprehensive acoustic consulting services, focusing on structural acoustics, isolation acoustics, and internal acoustics throughout the entire building complex.
Design
WSDG’s acoustic design strategy for Viceroy Residences centers on critical sound isolation solutions between residential units and building amenities. Special consideration has been given to the spa and gym facility, with comprehensive acoustic isolation measures implemented around, above, and below this high-activity space to prevent sound transmission to adjacent residential units. The project presents unique challenges with rooftop mechanical installations, including substantial air conditioning units that require sophisticated acoustic treatment to protect the penthouse residents below.
Additional acoustic reinforcement measures for penthouse ceilings ensure that residents who have invested significantly in their luxury residences enjoy pristine acoustic environments free from mechanical noise intrusion.
