Cherry Hills Dining Room Acoustics – Albuquerque, NM

She Hacienda at the River is a center for excellence and

et in the foothills of Albuquerque’s Northeast Heights, Cherry Hills reflects the warmth and vibrancy of the Southwest landscape. When the main dining room began struggling with sound control, Goebel Design Group was brought in to create a solution that would improve acoustics while enhancing the overall aesthetic.

The team designed a series of custom faux-wood acoustic baffles, arranged in a clean architectural grid that complements the existing interiors. This installation adds a refined sense of rhythm and depth overhead, softening sound and creating a more comfortable dining experience. Engineered for efficiency, the system allowed for quick installation with minimal disruption to residents and staff.

The result is a space that feels calm, cohesive, and unmistakably of its region—where thoughtful technical design meets the natural warmth of the high desert.
