Los Angeles, CA / Media / Noise and distraction
Focus space that shuts out the floor for Media teams in Los Angeles, CA
LA production offices record interviews and voice tracks on floors that were never treated for sound.

Open floors were designed to put people together, and they carry sound in every direction. Headphones mask the noise but they do not stop a colleague walking over, and the cost of each interruption is paid in the time it takes to get back to the work.
Editors and producers work to a cut deadline, and the same room that makes a newsroom fast makes a fine edit almost impossible.
