In 2019, to deliver an iconic FORA workspace venue, London-based Stiff + Trevillion Architects refurbished a characteristic post-modern building in central Soho. Two years later, when the basement was transformed to accommodate events and group activities, its acoustics needed to be optimised. This included corridors and a very large area partitioned with wide folding doors, making the space variable in size, depending on the needs and number of users. To make the space uniform, the designers chose small clusters of dark Strato panels, constituting islands of different lengths, very carefully aligned and with painstakingly specified patterns. Each cluster featured the same recesses for spotlights in the Stereo panels with lights taken from another part of the building hanging from the ceiling above the Stereo Air panels, creating a very delicate diffuse lighting effect.
