The problem
Modern church buildings can be troubled by reverberation just the same as old church buildings with high vaults. In some rooms of the Stichting Kerken Ommoord (EN: Institute of Churches in Ommoord), a church and meditation centre combined into one, a very high reverberation time was measured. After our visit for this measurement, we made some proposals for the quiet room and the Maria chapel, equally paying attention to the acoustics as well as to the aesthetic execution of the solution.
