The design is inspired by music as a soulful medium and reflects a nostalgic love for new and old. Three abstract expressions of sound Anechoic (mustard), Noise (crimson) and Beats (khaki) were created as part of the design. The acoustic material, ideal for providing high-performance sound absorption was custom coloured and lent itself to production as flat patterns – crafted to fold like origami to create distinct shapes with very little wastage. 

Raw exposed galvanised steel and warm natural timber pair to create a language of technical precision and soulful comfort. Exposed services and steel wall frames offer the impression of circuitry transmitting signals through the ‘amplifier’, re-energised with timber and retro styled partitioning.

The warehouse required a new mezzanine level to achieve occupancy with an arrangement that formed a cityscape with ‘hoods’ in between, using the broadcast studios as bumpers between brands. Studios are paired and stacked, each characterised with a feature treatment, a visual manifestation of sound which creates energy and drama.
