The brand new  business hub Skyline Park offers flexible offices and coworking spaces to rent. In the building there is also an unique Event Space  on the 10th and 11th floor.

Developer LVDB Invest  has put down a landmark building next to the E403 highway in Izegem. This Nearly Zero Energy office building of 50m high is developed by Govaert&Vanhoutte Architects. The new building is erected next to the HQ of Skyline Communications.  There is a newly developed park of  30.000m²  in end phase.

The  tower has a magnificent view on the 10th and 11th floor over Flanders Fields and  houses a SkyTheatre  for corporate presentations, a SkyBar with outer terrace at 40m height and a SkyLounge. These are all rental  spaces for  seminars, training and cultural events.  

This building has a timeless  clean-cut design and also an austere interior with classy and durable materials.

Architectural concrete for walls and ceiling, combined with a window glass outer shell and a rigid furniture interior are  is the perfect cocktail  for a environment with very long reverberation times. The intelligibility in such an open event space is normally very poor.

Architects Govaert&Vanhoutte  looked at different products to improve the acoustical comfort for the visitors of the SkyBar and SkyLounge. They found with the newly developed Lefcoustics  of Print Acoustics (by Triplaco) a perfect esthetic and acou solution.  The Panels are composed of solid timber slates  (sections of 30mm width) premounted in factory on 44% perforated AKOB-M acou MDF core boards with black acou fleece frontside.

The USP’s of these  prefabricated acou panels are  that they come with guaranteed absorption certificate from independent Acou lab,  that these panels have a low TCO  due to premounted panels that are easy to install on site and finally the acou board prevents  damaging of the acou fleece in case of  wall mounting .

An excellent cooperation between owner, architect, contractor, installer  and manufacturer Print Acoustics resulted in a complete finished project  to open officially in 2019 to the acoustical satisfaction of owners, employees and visitors.
