TOHO Studios Post-Production Center 1

Tokyo, Japan

TOHO Studios has achieved worldwide fame as the creator of Godzilla and home of director Akira Kurosawa, best known for his influential film The Seven Samurai. TOHO Studios Post-Production Center 1 was the first new facility of its kind in Japan in 50 years and includes a feature film dubbing stage, a 100-seat screening theater, an ADR suite, a Foley suite, and various technical support facilities. Salter developed the room acoustics design (including the interior design) for these new facilities and provided peer review for the architectural sound isolation and HVAC system noise reduction. The project required close collaboration with TOHO Studios and Takenaka Construction through multiple phases of construction to create a state-of-the-art, world-renowned facility.
