SONOS office; 390 park avenue Sonos is an electronics company based in Santa Barbara, CA, that makes a variety of wireless audio products. They are dedicated to delivering high quality sound to every home. Sonos aims to do this for every room in the house wirelessly with the help of the Sonos app, wireless speakers, and audio components. The new Sonos office redesign is located on the 4th and 5th floors of the Lever House in Manhattan, New York. One of the project considerations was to create an original filter which mediates existing conditions of air, light, and sound, within a historically landmarked site. The filter studies are applied to spatial planning and design within the Sonos office. For the Sonos office, there had to be a balance of flexible and fixed open work spaces and private offices. Each with varying levels of noise tolerancy and privacy requirements. view of filter model

Soft, Flexible Filter
Closed
The structured open filter is used in areas that are more informal, less private, but still need an enclosure around the area.
The flexible filter is used as a statement for the office entry.
The closed filture creates a boundary for more privacy for conference room in the Sonos office.
