CHALLENGE
Real estate developer Columbia Property Trust completed work on the renovation of its Outdoor Patio at the property at 221 Main Street, San Francisco. The project renovation included the creation of a completely new rooftop outdoor living audiovisual experience. The space was created with the intention for guests & tenants to use for meetings, events & gatherings.
THE SOLUTION
Creation Networks provided a dynamic visual display to be the focal point of the design while providing hidden audio system. The team at Creation Networks installed the IP65-rated LED video display. This outdoor rated display projects a vibrant image even under direct sunlight. We then leveraged our partnership with Gensler Architectural to properly design and install a distributed audio system with outdoor speakers and subwoofers to address their sound requirements. To tie the various pieces of the system together, we selected Crestron as the control platform to ensure ease of use.
