After months of sporadic building work, the directors studio is now complete!

SXS Managing Director Johnny Palmer felt that the existing office space needed to be expanded to allow for more seperated areas for creative work spaces, as well as a space where full-concentration work can be done.

A "loft conversion" of a corner of the warehouse was constructed into a custom office. This was done by constructing a mezzanine floor over the top of some existing warehouse storage. To turn this into an attractive space it was then plastered, a skylight added and painted.

To ensure it presents the best possible techncial flexibility the space was then kitted out with:
- Power media server PC with Autocad, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash and Premiere
- RAID-enabled NAS storage backup to ensure absolute data integrity
- 4-way TFT monitor system including portrait layout for design work
- Cisco optical network system
- 50" high-definition plasma TV
- bi-amped monitoring sound system

"The space is great. We previously had a pleasant and spacious 5-desk office and a more formal meeting room. This new space is a casual area that allows for more relaxed meetings and creative collaborations. I look forward to discussing technical challenges and designs in this space" Says Johnny.
