Solutions
Anutone design and products team worked closely with the ecosystem especially the architects that resulting in incredible interiors that combines superb aesthetics and very effective acoustics. The auditorium walls with Stretch NRC in shades of sea blue and random shapes are the cynosure of all eyes. Dado of Slats Surco as a contrast of both colour and texture all the more highlights the Stretch NRC. The ceiling as Subtex Nubby provides for a pristine, sublime finish and as a neutral surface that offsets the walls very nicely. All surfaces provide high-performance acoustics for any programming.

The use of Anutone ceiling products like Serge Lance for non-conventional spaces is path-breaking and worthy of applause.
