Mass Plywood panel fabricaton process at Freres Lumber in Lyons, Oregon

Located on the ground floor of a former LADWP building near USC, the new location for the dublab headquarters set out to produce a new physical space for the digital community that dublab has cultivated. In approaching the design, Stayner Architects wanted to focus the design on the broadcasting studios, the core of dublab’s ethos. Wanting to highlight the studio, the concept centered around a building within a building, where dj’s, staff, and visitors are constantly moving around the studio as an object in the space.

Mass Plywood panel fabricaton at Freres Lumber in Lyons, Oregon

Materially, the project encouraged the use of Mass Plywood Panel, an emerging material which Stayner Architects has begun investing development in. Mass Ply Panel is beneficial through its structural properties in addition to reduction of assembly time as opposed to traditional framed construction. Mass Plywood Panel also allows for the panels to be disassembled and reassembled giving the materials a longer lifespan as opposed to other forms of construction.

The interior build out regulates the flow of sound within the studio. While the Mass Plywood Panels keep noise from leaving the interior, a wall assembly using a combination of plywood slats, mineral wool insulation and fabric help absorb sound to keep the reverberation to a minimum.
