Artemovsk 38 (A38) is a new floating meeting place in Budapest, on the Danube river, close to two universities and vibrant campuses. The thoroughly refurbished former rock transporting barge now accomodates a restaurant, a bar and a 160 sqm concert room.

Decoupling the structures of the concert room, inside the steel boat body, with excellent vibration transmitting properties, left the acoustical consultants with no other option than creating a box-in-the-box solution.

The positive feed-back of the first artists giving concerts on the boat, and the reception by the press justified all the efforts that was put into the vibration and room acoustical design. CDM supplied suspension elements for the walls and ceiling of the concert room.
