Acoustic acceptance of the Village des Rosiers homes in Saint-Ouen
In dense urban environments, noise is a major issue in terms of comfort, health and regulatory compliance for residential and commercial buildings. The Village des Rosiers project in Saint-Ouen, supported by BNP Paribas Immobilier, illustrates the importance of an in-depth acoustic study to guarantee sustainable performance.

A mixed-use development with high acoustic impact
Le Village des Rosiers is a large-scale real estate program integrating several types of use within a single site. This functional mix greatly complicates the management of noise and vibration pollution.
The project includes
- housing,
- offices,
- a hotel,
- shops,
- a fitness room,
- a crèche.
Each use generates specific constraints in terms ofbuilding acoustics,sound insulation and equipment noise management. The coexistence of these activities calls for a global approach, led by an acoustics expert, capable of anticipating sound interactions between private, collective and public spaces.
SIM Engineering’s acoustic expertise
SIM Engineering was responsible for the entire acoustic engineering of the project, assisting all those involved throughout the process. This mission covered both building acoustics and environmental acoustics, with particular attention paid to the acceptance phase.
With over 30 years’ experience, SIM Engineering is regularly involved in complex real estate projects, in line with the requirements of acoustic regulations and the growing expectations of building owners. The company’s skills are based on a rigorous approach, certified by OPQIBI and MASE, guaranteeing the reliability of its methods, the traceability of its data and the quality of its results.
Acoustic acceptance methodology and in situ measurements
An acceptance phase decisive for acoustic compliance
The acceptance phase is a key stage in any acoustic study. It enables us to check that the performance measured corresponds to the objectives defined during the design phase and to regulatory requirements.
On the Village des Rosiers project, SIM Engineering conducted several in situ acoustic measurement campaigns, including the following:
- sound insulation between dwellings,
- insulation against external noise,
- equipment noise levels,
- impact noise propagation,
- any vibrations linked to specific uses.
These measurements were carried out in accordance with current acoustic standards, using certified instrumentation to guarantee the reliability of the results.
Regulatory compliance and acoustic performance of buildings
Acoustic measurement campaigns validated the project’s compliance with noise regulations, while ensuring that the acoustic comfort objectives defined by the project owner were met.
Over and above compliance with regulatory thresholds, SIM Engineering’s acoustic engineering services aim to optimize the quality of building use. This approach is in line with our acoustic consulting approach, providing project managers and operators with a clear understanding of the results and, if necessary, targeted corrective recommendations.
Ensuring the acoustic quality of real estate projects
The Village des Rosiers project in Saint-Ouen, France, demonstrates the importance of an integrated acoustic expertise that continues right through to building acceptance. In complex urban environments, only a rigorous acoustic study can reconcile density, mixed use and sustainable occupant comfort.
SIM Engineering’s acoustic design office supports clients, architects and developers in all phases of their projects, from initial diagnosis to acceptance, including site supervision and acoustic monitoring if required.
