We understand that our clients want audio visual systems that work elegantly and simply, the first time. They must delight audiences, delegates and users alike.

From stadia to theatres to boardrooms, our audio visual consultants follow a holistic approach, adopting the latest technology and allowing seamless expansion and upgradability for years to come through modern, flexible design.

AV systems are critical in creating ambience within spaces and also control functional aspects allowing people to hear, see and comprehend messages – which can also form a life-safety role.

Our approach to audio visual consulting

We believe that AV systems should be easy to operate, monitor and manage in real-time.
Working hand-in-hand with our Buro Happold colleagues (or across wider design teams), our audio visual consultants are uniquely placed to deliver seamless integration of AV services with our acoustics, iBMS, ICT, lighting, MEP, technology and theatre engineers.

Our consultancy is people and business focussed and is well versed in available and future technologies. Inclusive design is at the heart of what we do. Audio visual systems should cater for everyone. We listen and advise. We review AV usage across the project to understand the ambitions and deliver the client’s goals.

Integrated audio visual systems designed to impress

In the modern world, the default expectation is for integrated audio visual technologies, which will blend with the user’s own tech and provide immediate sonic and visual feedback. The success of a space can be a direct product of the occupant’s experience with this.

We deliver designs that are sympathetic to the architecture. We have backgrounds in performing arts and technology and work with world-class architects and designers to deliver fully integrated solutions in venues and auditoria. We can blend AR or VR technologies with our outputs to drive the most incredible experiences.

More than ever, businesses need to strengthen their collaboration tools to engage with people no matter where they might be located. Getting it right means impressing clients and facilitating huge leaps in productivity and efficiency. We can help with this.
