Grillage surround at concert hall, The Conrad
Drawing of stage surround in white oak and walnut with a plaid of acoustically transparent, visually opaque fabric.
Random sizes, spacing, and plumpness of verticals support acoustic requirements to avoid echoes, all while creating the feeling of sitting in a grove.
Stage Screen and Balcony Fascia, SLPC
Douglas fir woven on steel rods. Light playing on the woven architectural seascape creates a scalloped effect like the ripples of water in the bay, while supporting room acoustics.
