When planning a venue, performance space, or multipurpose room, the layout and system design are just as important as the architecture itself. From sightlines and acoustics to lighting and control systems, the design process defines how the space will look, sound, and feel. That’s where Phantom PD’s consultancy service comes in.
Our team specialises in helping architects, venue owners, and operators create flexible, future-proof spaces. With years of experience across live events, theatre, education, and corporate environments, we bring a unique understanding of both creative and technical requirements.
Designing with Purpose
Every venue serves a different purpose. Some need to transition between conferences and live performances, while others require permanent installations that enhance the audience experience. We start by understanding your needs, your audience, and how you plan to use the space. This allows us to create a system design that works with your layout, not against it.
We look at:
Acoustics and Sound Coverage – ensuring even sound distribution across the entire space
Lighting Infrastructure – from stage lighting to architectural and ambient lighting
Control Systems – intuitive operation for staff, technicians, or visiting companies
Power Distribution – correctly specified and safely integrated
Facility Panels and Connectivity – simple, reliable patching and routing
Collaboration from the Start
We often work alongside architects, main contractors, and venue teams from the earliest design stages. This collaborative approach prevents costly retrofits and ensures that AV infrastructure is built in from day one. Whether you’re fitting out a new theatre, upgrading a lecture hall, or creating a flexible event space, our consultancy provides detailed drawings, specifications, and system layouts ready for implementation.
Future-Proofing Your Investment
Technology evolves quickly. We design systems that are modular and scalable, so your venue can grow with your needs. We also offer ongoing maintenance and support, helping you keep equipment in top condition and ensuring your systems continue to perform at their best.
