ICONIC VIDEO BACKDROP
IA designed a full video production suite and incorporated it into the renovation of LinkedIn’s 26-floor San Francisco headquarters. Working closely with Interior Architects, the architect-of-record for the project, IA delivered the project on a previously empty floor of the building, creating a cohesive and highly functional studio environment that enhances LinkedIn’s production capabilities. The studio includes a sound stage, a green room, audio editing facilities, conference areas, and storage space.
As the recording studio consultant, IA worked closely with the team carrying out the full renovation, seamlessly integrating the studio with new staff spaces. The design also mitigates noise from the surrounding city, activity in adjacent spaces, and the building’s mechanical systems, achieving NC-20 noise criteria for HVAC and NC-25 for sound isolation.
