Hockwood Digital DMCC, Dubai

Drawing inspiration from Hollywood, Dubai-based Verve Design has completed the interior design and fit-out of Hockwood Digital DMCC, a state-of-the-art post-production media studio in Jumeirah Lakes Towers that caters to the growing demands of the digital media.

Verve Design delivered the interior design and fit-out, creating micro partitions for the thirteen zones that make up the space. The area includes a reception, lounge, terrace, and cafeteria; a conference room and video conferencing centre; post-production video rooms, a green screen studio; and traditional offices. The studio is equipped with two Dolby digital cinemas, office space and all the post-production technology to manage productions. Throughout the maze-like office and digital production space, graphics adorn the walls bearing connection to well-known animated and blockbuster movies capturing cinematic icons.

To mask the acoustic challenges, Verve had to soundproof all 13 areas to ensure the Dolby Atmos surround sound technology in the cinema rooms could not be heard in other areas and this was addressed by selecting different types of wall partitions, ceilings and doors.
