This bright, airy studio space designed by DHD Architecture and Design features a single, continuous, folding work surface running east to west, which anchors the studio and contributes a human scale to the space. There are a variety of casual meeting spaces, each with a unique character, like a collection of stage or TV sets.

Only one formal conference room exists and in it is an artist-installed rope ceiling. Green principles were employed throughout and include vintage theatre seats, a feature wall of salvaged TV sets, reclaimed barn-wood siding, the retention of various building systems, and use of recycled or environmentally friendly finishes, furniture, and lighting. 

DHD have created an open, studio-like work space with no visible hierarchy. The principals envisioned a work environment that didn’t feel like work, to make employees and clients feel both inspired and at home.

Media Storm is an interactive advertising agency that has created memorable campaigns for NBC, Fox, the Food Network, Sony and Paramount.
