Our Services
From earliest planning decisions to the fine details of production systems and audiovisual integration, we align vision, architecture, and technology.
Facility Planning & Design
Let's think about what spaces you need and how they should feel and operate. We help bring order and flow to complex projects, shaping the way people enter, experience, and move through gathering spaces. From feasibility studies to operational layouts, we provide criteria and guidance that make performance spaces perform better. By bridging the gap between stakeholders, architects, engineers, and construction teams, we bring insight that streamlines decisions, uncovers efficiencies, and perfects practices.
-
Needs assessments, conceptual design, and feasibility studies.
-
Room criteria, adjacencies, and site evaluation for new or renovated facilities.
-
Audience, performer, and operational circulation, seating configurations, and sight lines.
-
Structural, mechanical, and electrical criteria for production and AV systems.
-
Design reviews, documentation coordination, and construction observation.
Audiovisual Design & Integration
We integrate sound, image, and connection into architecture so that communication and performance feel effortless. Our work includes the conceptualization, design, and coordination of impactful AV systems for performance venues, classrooms, corporate facilities, and civic spaces. From immersive soundscapes and broadcast-ready streaming to conferencing platforms and large-format displays, we create technology that is intuitive, reliable, and aligned with each client’s goals — adaptable today and ready for what comes next.
-
Building-wide AV implementation and infrastructure design for seamless operation.
-
Sound and video systems for performance, learning, and interactive environments.
-
Live event, streaming, and presentation systems that connect local and remote audiences.
-
Intelligent conferencing, scheduling, and meeting systems that support hybrid participation.
-
Control systems, programming, and interfaces that simplify complex technology.
-
Assistive listening technologies that ensure inclusive communication for all.
Production Systems
The invisible framework of performance. Rigging, lighting, draperies, seating, and acoustical systems come together in systems that support and elevate the art. Our designs balance innovation with reliability, ensuring every performance is safe, flexible, and unforgettable. Drawing on decades of experience, we align technical precision with creative intent, helping architects, engineers, and production teams realize spaces that perform beautifully from the first rehearsal to the final curtain.
-
Comprehensive planning, design, and budget recommendations for production systems.
-
Stage machinery, rigging, draperies, and variable acoustic systems (analog and digital).
-
Production lighting controls, fixtures, and integration with architectural lighting.
-
Stage platforms, risers, and both fixed and flexible seating solutions.
-
Bespoke seating and specialized components tailored to unique performance environments.
The Castro Theatre converts easily from seated movie and performance mode into full concert mode — a glimpse of how the restored venue can flex between film, live performance, concerts, and community events.
Our Approach
Our goal is to make each gathering space not only functional, but deeply inspiring and responsive to the people who use it.
Accessibility & Inclusion
Gathering is for everyone. We go beyond code compliance to create spaces that are genuinely inclusive — from assistive listening and captioning systems to wheelchair-accessible seating, sensory-friendly design, and intuitive controls.
Budget & Guidance
Every vision needs a roadmap. We bring clarity to complex decisions, aligning technology and design with operational realities. With careful planning and thoughtful recommendations, we help you make wise investments that keep projects on budget and facilities thriving for years to come.
Collaboration
We approach planning and design as a collaborative process, working closely with clients, architects, other planning and design disciplines, and builders, always mindful of balancing vision with practicality and creativity with precision.
