That all-orange room is snazzy, and it shows up in all the photographs. What is that spiky wall made of?




Go Kate! (the architect).

Also wishing there was more meat to the article.


Is there a link to info about the architecture somewhere?


Looks almost exactly like the same acoustic foam that is used in the studio at the community radio station I occasionally volunteer at.

I'm guessing this has been painted over to match the wall?


I don't think it would work to paint this stuff. Fortunately the wall is pretty close to chromatic orange, and so were the panels.


That's why I was wondering. I've never seen it in orange before (I was researching acoustic foam before for use at home) and it just seemed like an odd thing to do if it had an actual use other than looking good.

That being said, I suppose one could always dye it - that might work.
