Pushing Boundaries, Loud Control, Actor's Speakeasy
The transformation of an empty ground-floor commercial space into an intense acting studio. The clients were embarking on an ambitious business expansion, which led to an open and enlightening dialogue between architect and client. Design input extended to artwork, graphic design, marketing material, and brand identity. A close collaboration with the contractor was essential to meet the tight budget and construction schedule. Bureau Gemmell’s egoless approach allowed the essence of the project to remain so that the client’s vision could be realized. Special attention was needed to control traffic noise from the busy street outside and ensure noise did not transfer from inside the studio to the condominium units above. Bold but pragmatic materials and thoughtful attention to detail solved the technical challenges.
