Perhaps the other trick is that we're integrating acoustic and architectural design, so that most of the wall space in the facility is doing the job that would normally require two walls--an inner structural wall and an exposed acoustic wall.
True. We are building walls within walls, whereas you have the luxury of not being in one of the busiest cities in the world, with an active train line running 1.5 blocks away...

But you have a much more exotic design, with more corners and angles. Your contractor is going to love you!
