Hendricks Gin Palace, the epitome of luxury at Grants Distillery
As Featured in the Prestigious Hotel Designs website. The industries leading hotel design website.
The Challenge
Working with W Grants and the Hendricks brand team, the challenge was to provide an ambiance within the gin palace that complements and enhances their playground for invention. Meanwhile, using a near invisible audio and entertainment system to fill the dedicated spaces without compromising on the design element. In addition, the system had to be robust to handle different functions throughout the building. Moreover, Hendricks needed the system to be spread over the building… Including the specialty ‘brand’ rooms. Above all, Hendricks wanted to maintain the quirky design throughout the Gin Palace with ambient sound and sleek design.
Project requirements:
- Varying level of sound in zones
- 4k video distribution throughout
- Futureproof wired and wireless technology infrastructure
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Good quality
- Streamlined
- Hardware and network security with remote monitoring
- Can we have a quirky and unusual application of technology,
- Lets make it eye catching but invisible?
The Solution, Attention to detail.
Lairds designed a building wide solution. A wired infrastructure that provides 4k video distribution, audio in the Brand rooms and secure Wifi. The Gin palace provides the users the ability to have presentations in the Theater. Ramp it up with the audio in the bar and background music in the Lab. Consequently, the simple control of the system is through the fully secure wireless network.
Discrete Technology
Today’s professional audio integration is more than merely filling a room with music. Moreover, there is a tangible design element that’s a critical part of the space’s environment. For instance, the audio is meant to create a mood, elevate the senses and not distract from the designer’s vision and aesthetic goals. For over 10 years, the technicians at lairds have continually explored and refined the fine art of musical fidelity within a designed space. Therefore, we managed to excel in this space with a combination of Sonance and their series of award-winning in-wall and in-ceiling speakers and Custom built, colour coded speakers from Gallo Acoustics.
