Suspended Sound, Stair - a Kickstarter project

The goal of Suspended Sound, Stair is to challenge peoples’ perception of a particularly reverberant stairwell by creating a gradient of sound absorption and visual opacity.  The top floor will be acoustically insulated relative to the first floor of the stairwell, which will remain acoustically reflective.  This will be achieved by suspending multiple layers of semi-transparent fabric from a metal structure which will be mounted at the top of the void in the stairwell.  As one climbs up the staircase, the accumulated layers of fabric grow increasingly opaque.  During the day, light will stream into the space from the skylight at the top of the stairwell enabling the fabric to act as a filter.
