Additional WSDG offices are located in Basel, SwitSwitzerlandzerland (Europe Office); Buenos AiAires,res, Argentina (Latin America Office); Belo Horizonte, Brazil (Brazil Office) and Miami, FlorFloridaida (serving southern FloridFloridaa and tthehe Caribbean). WSDG is the corporate entity of a 40-year career, sstartingtarting with John Storyk's first studiostudio design forfor Jimi Hendrix in 1969. WSDG is the partnership of BeBethth Walters and John StStoryk,oryk, and now includes associates and design professionals in all of the offices, numbering over 50 people. WSDG has also designed recording and mixing studios for: Alicia Keys, Bob Marley, Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion, Def-Jam Records, ESPN, Jay-Z, Jazz at Lincoln Center, MTV Latin America to name a few. Key personnel hold college and university degrees in Architecture, Acoustics, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Management. John Storyk, Dirk Noy, David Kotch and Renato CipriCiprianoano are frequent lecturers and presenterspresenters atat various architectural and audio technology schools as well as specific trade conventions. WSDG is a seven-time winner of the international TEC Award in studio design, as well as the European SINUS System Integration Award. WSDG's work has been exteextensivelynsively published and discdiscussedussed in numerous professional audio, broadcasting and systems design media. WSDG has been responsible for the design, construction and success of over 3,000 projects worldwide. Company Structure WSDG maintains offices in 5 locations: USA Highland, New York (1.5 hours north of New York City) USA Miami, Florida Europe Basel, Switzerland Latin America Buenos Aires, Argentina Brazil Belo Horizonte, Brazil All WSDG offices share rresourcesesources on a daily basis, however all jobs are manmanagedaged and represented on a local basis. All work will be coordinated via the Highland, New York office. The Highland office maintains a full-time staff of 15 people as well as four part-time drafting and support professionals. Page 4 SERVICES Acoustic Design and Consulting WSDG has collaborated with many of the world’s leading architectural firms to provide innovative solutions and ourselvesprocedures in towards participating creating in the excellence collaborative in acoustic design andprocess. electro-acoustic design and installation. We pride Acoustic Testing and Measurement WSDG engineers use the most advanced acoustic predipredictionction and analysis software. This proprovidesvides accurate acoustical data collection and predictive acoustical modeling. Our reports are accurate and along with pre- construction environment auralization, allow our clients and design partners to listen to environments before they are constructed. Internal Room Acoustics and Surface Treatments Critical listening spaces, including studios, theaters, conference rooms, home listening rooms and all speech intelligibility sensitive spaces will all benefit from accurate acoustic design. Often the use of variablevariable acoustic treatments is our preferred design approach. By providing design options for surface treatments using absorption, reflection and diffusion, we can accurately enhance the listening properties of these environments. HVAC Noise Control Design / Vibration Control WSDG establishes noise criteria specifications for all spaces in our designs, while preparing creative design solutions for adherence to these goals. Careful attattentionention is given to HVAC design, building structural systems, and room boundary design. When required, real world listening simulations allallowow careful value engineeriengineeringng before final design documentation. Sound Isolation Critical to virtually all successful acoustic designs is the thorough analysis of external noise, vibration sources (traffic, trains, aircraft, etc.) and environment (i.e. HVAC distribution systems). WSDG provides acoustical measurement, analysis and design services to assure optimal acoustical isolation of existing or new construction, always with an eye towards economy of design and awareness of applicable building techniques for each project. Commercial and Performance Audio/Visual Systems Design and Integration WSDG provides technology integration design services for the commercial and performance design communities. Specific services include distributed audio-video, building automation (lighting, HVAC, fenestration control, etc.), telephony & communications, and information technology. All work is always performed with an eye towards state of the art technology future proofing and creative integration with each projects’ architectural goals. Residential Audio-Video / Home Theater Design Advanced Residential audio-video design and whole house systems control are no lonlongerger ideas of the future. InIn almost all residences, these systems have now becombecomee integral to the home envenvironment.ironment. WSDG creates creative multi-room and home theater design solutions that are easy to manage, economical, acoustically accurate and most importantly, integrated into the architectural design of the residence.
