Design And Advisory Services

Adena provides cost effective technical advice and design services that are essential to organisations building or upgrading theatres, studios, school halls, auditoriums, churches, etc. We offer a wealth of technical experience gained from many years work in live theatre and school performing arts installations.

School performing arts facilities, drama studios, and TV/Video studios are our specialty. Every installation is designed for safety and fitness for purpose using professional quality products and technoligies that fully comply with all applicable NZ regulations, industry standards and accepted industry best practices.

Right from the start of your project, before you even select an architect, we help you define the performance space you desire, its essential equipment and the desirable equipment that you'll add later as budgets permit. We design the very specialised technical infractructure that's needed for the performance space to function as it should, produce all the necessary drawings and documentation, and then we work with your architects to help them integrate everything nicely into the overall building design. This process delivers better performing arts facilities and, by eliminating problems that can be costly to fix after construction, it also delivers better value for your budget along with some welcome piece of mind.
