Singapore Airlines SilverKris Business Lounge – Melbourne Airport
Delivering Premium Acoustic Wall Panels for a Luxury Lounge
Singapore Airlines partnered with AC Building Group during the upgrade of its prestigious SilverKris Business Lounge at Melbourne Airport. Sontext was selected to supply and install custom fabric-wrapped wall panels, supporting premium travellers’ vision for a modern, elegant, and acoustically comfortable environment.
Tailored Acoustic Solutions for International Lounges
The brief required high-quality upholstered wall panels, precisely measured and finished in a carefully selected fabric—Elements by Bolon Andrews. Sontext worked closely with the team led by Tony Cardillo from AC Building Group to create a mock-up at Melbourne Airport before full installation approval. This ensured alignment with Singapore Airlines’ aesthetic and acoustic goals.
End-to-End Project Support by Sontext
Sontext handled both the detailed site measurements and the final installation, offering a seamless local solution for high-end acoustic panel fabrication. The panels used a durable MDF substrate wrapped in the specified Elements fabric, delivering both acoustic control and visual appeal. This project highlights Sontext’s ability to meet international standards through local craftsmanship and responsive project delivery.
