The Foundation

Sound defines how a space is experienced, whether for performance, speech, or everyday use.
 

Studio B1 provides acoustic design for theaters, performance venues, and complex environments where clarity and control are critical. We work alongside architects and design teams to develop solutions that support both performance requirements and design intent.

Design Philosophy 

Sound Is Designed, Not Left to Chance

Acoustic design is not just technical, it is perceptual. It begins with how sound should behave within a space, then develops solutions that balance clarity, warmth, and control.
Every surface, volume, and system contributes to a cohesive acoustic environment.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Our Process

A process built on how sound should work, carried from research and early insight into real-world use.

Listening

Acoustic goals, constraints, and operational needs are understood through interviews, observation, and evaluation of existing conditions, defining how sound should behave within the space.

Collaboration

Solutions are developed alongside architects and design teams, balancing clarity, control, and overall design intent.

Integration

Acoustic strategies are integrated with structure, mechanical systems, and architecture to control sound, noise, and vibration at every scale. From room shaping to system coordination, each element is aligned to perform as part of a cohesive whole.

Partnership

A Principal Consultant leads every project, working alongside in-house acoustic specialists to ensure clarity, technical rigor, and accountability from early design through completion.

OUR PROCESS

Every project is shaped by its unique requirements.
Our process remains the same.

Listening

We begin with interviews, workshops, and direct observation to understand your goals, constraints, and operational needs.

Collaboration

Design options are developed through shared input, informed by precedent, performance requirements, and technical systems.

Integration

Architecture, acoustics, AV, and lighting are aligned into a cohesive, high-performing system.

Partnership

A Principal Consultant leads every project from start to finish, ensuring clarity, continuity, and accountability.
