The lobby is the initial point of contact for customers, guests, or employees entering your office or building. Create a lasting impression by installing a personalized ceiling that reflects your brand and company values. The KOIN Tower in Portland has implemented a contemporary ceiling design that complements its rich history.
Think Joule, the company responsible for the KOIN Tower rebrand, used the brand motif from their logo as the basis for a pattern that Arktura incorporated into a custom Graphic Perf® screen. This screen extends throughout the lobby, adding visual interest and reinforcing the custom branded identity.
“Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Center” Eugene, OR, SRG Partnership.
Arktura’s Solutions Studio® offers Graphic Perf®’s Photoreal perforation process, which can transfer full-scale images onto perforated panels. Our advanced tools and techniques help us create grid-compatible panels that seamlessly tile and bring your picture to life.
The Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Center at the University of Oregon has panels with artistic depictions of the university’s famous football player and his jersey. These images were created using the Graphic Perf® technique and feature silhouettes of ducks in flight, a nod to the university’s mascot, the Oregon Duck.
“Vitol” Houston, TX, PDR.
Without proper acoustics, open offices can be a hotbed of distracting noises from computer keyboards, meetings, and even coworkers chattering. This office adds mindful custom acoustic panels to attenuate the room with faceted, geometric modules, transforming the office into a beautiful collaborative space. This customized ceiling system is made with Soft Sound® material, which is sustainably produced from recycled materials. Soft Sound® is designed to reduce and control reverberations, leaving a lasting impression at any scale.
“Columbus Convention Center” Columbus, OH, Schooley Caldwell, Elford Inc.
Large convention center hall ceilings can look unwieldy without proper decor. Add intrigue and functional acoustics to your fifth wall of design with the motion-filled baffles of Atmosphera® Adaptive Analog 3D. Designers can use Analog 3D to create unique surface designs for ceilings or work with the Arktura team to customize the flow. These visually impressive acoustic ceiling baffles can be adjusted to fit the project’s theme rather than being limited to a linear design.

Our Solutions Studio® team can create innovative ways to fully immerse guests and employees in acoustic comfort. This custom project involved designing coffered walls that gradually curve upward, forming an acoustic ceiling. The design includes open spaces that allow us to seamlessly integrate existing lighting and security systems with our acoustic solution.
“Amicus Therapeutics” Philadelphia, PA, CRB. Photo by Connie Zhou.
A beautiful floating wall made of Soft Sound® acoustic material adds to the design of the space. It curves up to the ceiling seamlessly. Crafted for a therapeutic company, the design was inspired by a gene sequence and blends the two levels of the space together impressively. The ceiling above features Arktura backlighting, bringing custom ceiling lights to the office below.

Walking through this wrap-around hallway covered by Graphic Perf® Custom Photoreal Interior wall panels is more of an immersive experience than just a way of moving from point A to point B.
Our exceptional software tools translate any image into a perforated pattern and then recreate that image on the wall. You can customize the design with personalized graphics, patterns, and pictures to make it unique and distinct for your business, resulting in an unparalleled experience.
“71 Above” Los Angeles, CA, Tag Front.
In restaurants and hospitality settings, better acoustics are often needed. With all the noise coming from the kitchen, staff, and guests, the sound levels can be pretty distracting. To address this, we have developed a custom ceiling design that incorporates our SoundStar® technology and a custom flat version of this acoustic ceiling cloud.
This results in a dynamic array of suspended acoustic ceiling panels across the restaurant, allowing for a lively dining experience without compromising intimacy.

Elevator banks are easy to overlook when creating dynamic designs for the rest of your space. But why shouldn’t guests and employees alike have an artistically built environment to observe while waiting for their elevator? This custom project showcases our Graphic Perf® Interior, which includes seamless wall-to-ceiling panels with an illuminated nature-inspired design. This brings the beauty of the outdoors indoors, creating a visually pleasing environment for those waiting for the elevator.
