One of their prominent projects is the WNYC Radio and Greene Performance Space, an impressive facility located at 160 Varick Street. This project spans four floors and includes ten production studios, control rooms, and support offices. Notably, it also houses a 6,000-square-foot performance venue that can accommodate 130 people. The design integrates audio and video production facilities, boasting a catering kitchen, green rooms, and other backstage support areas.

Another significant project is MTV Networks’ Central Editing and Network Operations, a 50,000-square-foot facility nestled in the bustling Times Square. This space consolidates multiple production units into a single environment, designed to enhance post-production and broadcast workflows. With features like open ceilings and exposed infrastructure, the facility promotes flexibility and ease of access for technical operations, supporting a shift toward fully digital production systems.
The CNN Prime-Time Production Hub is yet another landmark project, occupying around 250,000 square feet within the Time Warner Center. This hub is dedicated to CNN’s prime-time news production, featuring interconnected newsrooms and studios, as well as support spaces tailored for technical operations. The materials and finishes within are specifically vetted to meet on-air standards, demonstrating a keen attention to detail in the design process.
