The Decathlon “China Lab” complex in Shanghai, a vast 11-storey space blending offices, retail, fitness, and cultural facilities, presented a key challenge in its open-plan offices. With over 1,000 staff members working in a dynamic environment, the goal was to facilitate collaboration without compromising concentration. The open workspace needed to balance speech clarity between nearby coworkers while minimizing voice propagation over long distances — reducing distractions and maintaining productivity. Creating this dual sound environment in such a large, multifunctional setting required careful acoustic planning.

Our acoustic engineers were brought in to guide Decathlon through a full acoustic study for their offices. We defined targeted treatments for both individual and collaborative zones, ensuring each function received an adapted acoustic approach. We provided guidance on airborne sound insulation systems, allowing spaces like meeting rooms, break areas, and private offices to be insulated appropriately. Additionally, we addressed impact noise and equipment noise, and advised on sound masking principles to optimize ambient background levels. All recommendations were tailored to preserve user comfort while supporting Decathlon’s performance-driven culture.

Through simple yet effective acoustic solutions, the Decathlon China HQ achieved a well-balanced sound environment. Teams now enjoy clear communication within their immediate work areas, while background voices are kept to a minimum across the open floor, reducing mental fatigue and boosting focus. The final space supports both collaborative interaction and individual performance, reinforcing Decathlon’s vision of a workplace designed for energy, movement, and productivity.
