How do you modernize a 122-year-old concert hall without losing its acoustic soul?
The Kursaal Engelberg—a landmark 1902 performance venue in Switzerland—faced exactly this challenge during its recent expansion and heritage restoration.

WSDG designed acoustic solutions that preserved the hall's celebrated sonic character while accommodating new operational demands: full isolation for a connecting hallway, a compact technical control room for audio/video/lighting, and upgraded sound reinforcement and HVAC systems. The result: a fully modernized cultural destination that honors its historic identity.

What does the world’s leading music production education platform need from a studio?

A space that can seat 20 students, flip into a live room at the push of a button, and deliver Dolby Atmos — all within a two-story building tucked into a residential street in Paris.

That’s Rue Boyer — WSDG’s 2024 NAMM TEC Award-winning design for Mix With The Masters’ new flagship facility, and one of the most technically ambitious teaching studios ever built.

A century-old theater. A state-of-the-art cinematic experience. 🎬

Built in 1908 as the Orpheum and beloved by the Hudson River Valley community for generations, this historic Saugerties venue has been reimagined as The Mark — a premium screening room and mixed-use performance space designed by WSDG for not-for-profit Upstate Films.

The challenge: honor a 100+ year legacy while delivering everything a modern audience expects. The solution: meticulously designed acoustics, a full Dolby Atmos immersive audio system, flexible lighting, and top-of-the-line seating — engineered to make every screening an event.

Luxury apartments. 3 ft away. Events running at 105 dBA. Zero noise impact required. 🏛️

That was the directive WSDG received for the Los Molinos – Faena Arts Center in Buenos Aires' Puerto Madero district — and it's one of the most demanding acoustic isolation challenges in the firm's history.

The solution: a fully decoupled "box in box" isolation system — the same technology used in recording studios, deployed at a scale of 20,000 sq ft / 1,858 sq m across a landmark 1908 warehouse conversion.
