urban contemporary interior design with audio video

Urban contemporary interior design is a sophisticated amalgamation of sleek modern aesthetics and the rawness of urban elements. This design style, gaining popularity among urban dwellers, seamlessly integrates minimalist interior design concepts with advanced audio and video technology, creating spaces that are both functional and visually captivating.

Understanding Urban Contemporary Interior Design

Urban contemporary interior design is characterized by its emphasis on open spaces, clean lines, and a neutral color palette. It draws inspiration from the industrial aspects of urban life, such as exposed brick walls, concrete floors, and metal fixtures. The contemporary home style focuses on simplicity and functionality, often utilizing minimalist interior design principles to achieve a clutter-free environment.

The Role of Minimalism

Minimalist interior design plays a crucial role in urban contemporary spaces. By reducing unnecessary clutter and focusing on essential elements, minimalism enhances the aesthetic appeal and functionality of a room. This approach allows for the incorporation of statement pieces, such as bold artwork or unique furniture, without overwhelming the space. The result is an environment that feels open, inviting, and effortlessly stylish.

Integrating Audio and Video Technology

Incorporating audio and video technology into urban contemporary interiors elevates the living experience, offering convenience and sophistication. The integration of smart home systems allows homeowners to control lighting, temperature, and entertainment systems with ease. This technological advancement complements the minimalist ethos by eliminating the need for visible cables and bulky equipment.

Designing with Technology in Mind

When designing a space that includes advanced audio and video equipment, it is essential to consider the placement and functionality of these devices. Hidden speakers, in-wall wiring, and discreet mounting solutions can maintain the clean lines and open feel characteristic of urban contemporary design. Careful planning ensures that technology enhances, rather than detracts from, the overall aesthetic.

Achieving Balance in Urban Contemporary Spaces

Achieving a harmonious balance between the industrial elements and the softness of contemporary home style is crucial in urban contemporary design. Incorporating natural materials, such as wood and textiles, can soften the starkness of concrete and metal, creating a more inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the use of greenery and natural light helps to bring warmth and life to the space.

The Importance of Personalization

While urban contemporary design adheres to certain principles, personalization is key to making a space feel like home. Incorporating personal touches, such as family photos or heirloom pieces, adds character and depth to a minimalist environment. By blending personal elements with contemporary design, homeowners can create a space that reflects their unique tastes and lifestyle.

In conclusion, urban contemporary interior design offers a compelling blend of modern aesthetics and urban elements, enhanced by the seamless integration of audio and video technology. This design style provides a sophisticated and functional living environment, making it an ideal choice for urban dwellers seeking a minimalist yet personalized home.

Featured Project

Burns McDonnell, EPIC LED Video Wall

Designing the Ultimate 360 EPIC LED Video Wall Room

Our friends at Burns McDonnell, the world’s top engineering firm, tasked us with designing and building an EPIC, State-of-the-art 360 LED video wall room. Consequently, this state-of-the-art space allows them to physically preview all their 3D CAD files and engineering projects. As a result, it provides an immersive experience that significantly enhances collaboration with their teams and clients.

Enhancing Collaboration Beyond VR

Although many companies use VR for CAD file walkthroughs, VR often falls short in terms of real-time discussion. Specifically, it lacks the capability for team members to see where others are focusing or pointing. Therefore, our 360 LED video wall bridges this gap by allowing everyone in the room to view and discuss the designs simultaneously, creating a more interactive and engaging experience. Our 360 LED video wall does allow for everyone to experience their out-of-this-world design but also shows the client why Burns McDonnell is simply the best engineering firm in the world. They are always pushing the edge of technology to set the standard within their industry.

Proud Partnership with Burns McDonnell

We are genuinely thrilled to be Burns McDonnell’s official LED video wall partner. Notably, witnessing their innovative launch pad designs and experiencing the sensation of being 40 stories high up is truly extraordinary. This project not only highlights their groundbreaking designs but also underscores why Burns McDonnell remains a leader in engineering excellence.

Collaboration with Igloo Vision

In this groundbreaking project, we partnered with Igloo Vision, whose software suite expertly manages the 3D CAD integrations. Meanwhile, Ascend took charge of all other aspects, including software and media management, hardware design, installation, and implementation. Consequently, this collaboration ensured a seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.

A Global First – 360 LED video Wall Room

We are proud to announce that this is the world’s first 360 LED video wall room. Furthermore, it is a pioneering achievement, with only one other similar room located in Dubai. Thus, the immersive experience provided by this room is truly mind-blowing and sets a new benchmark in the industry.

Easy Streaming and Control

The system allows the Burns McDonnell team to stream their designs effortlessly from networked computers or through local wireless connections. Additionally, our design includes high-quality K-Array speakers, full-color programmable recessed lighting, and a sophisticated control system. Consequently, team members can easily manage everything using a wall-mounted touch panel or Surface tablet, making the system both intuitive and user-friendly.

A Team Effort

This project was indeed a significant team effort involving the entire Ascend team. We are extremely proud of the final product and deeply grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such an innovative and industry-leading client.
