As technology rapidly advances, architects have come to rely on the expertise of consulting specialists. Design by a team of collaborating professionals has replaced the architect/generalist approach. The importance of the theatre consultant as a resource to architects, owners and users continues to grow.

Our services also include the design of audio-visual and television facilities, as well as worship centers, whose objectives and requirements are closely related to those of theatres.
