Two very different rooms in one build. The lounge is a brand environment: a fireplace surround, a feature wall carrying the identity, and residential-grade finishes on a commercial schedule.
The review room is the opposite discipline. Monitors, speakers on stands, and a controlled listening position mean the room is judged on how it performs, not only how it looks. Wall and ceiling treatment, device placement, and cable pathways were coordinated together so the finished room stayed clean.
Branded environments carry a tolerance problem. When a logo or a graphic wall is the focal point, every reveal and shadow line around it is measured by eye against that graphic, so the substrate has to be flatter than a standard partition.
