CONSONANT is an acoustic design + research collaborative providing thoughtful, responsible, and innovative solutions at the intersection of sound, space, and human experience.
From the Latin, with sound or sounding together , we pursue beautiful, creative, and integrated solutions that connect people, in place and space, for performance and purpose.
