ARIDO Award: Sony Music
Drawing inspiration from Yorkville’s Coffee House era of the 1960’s – a time and place that launched the careers of music legends - both artist and employee talent were the harmonizing tones at the centre of this project.
Interior Designer: Anthony Orasi, ARIDO

This new environment brings together three separate business units and 150 staff in a bright and comfortable workspace, while providing a touchdown space, a performance venue, and a recording studio for Sony’s artists. Sampling the product at Sony Music means listening to music and all materials, wall assemblies, and furnishings were selected with acoustic performance in mind.
Functionality without compromising on aesthetic or comfort—from a faux architectural fireplace to retro leather seating, this is a space that supports employee engagement with a neighbourhood café feel.
