AV installation in London for spaces that have to work every day
Commercial spaces need AV that staff can run without a manual: background music that covers the room evenly, screens that show the right thing at the right time, lighting scenes for lunchtime and last orders, and one control surface simple enough for whoever is on shift.
Art of Integration is a Platinum Control4 dealer based in Walton-on-Thames. We design and install commercial audio, video and lighting systems across London and Surrey, with the same design-first approach as our residential cinemas and smart homes, and we support them afterwards with our own maintenance team.
Case study: oasis bar and terrace, canary wharf
Oasis Bar needed one venue to behave like two: a calm daytime social space and a high-energy pre-club destination at night. We designed and installed a complete audio and lighting system for the bar and its rooftop terrace.
- Audio: a Sonance commercial system covering the main bar and the rooftop terrace, with outdoor-rated speakers outside.
- Lighting: a Rako system with Day, Sunset and Night scenes, each triggered with a single touch.
- Control: one control interface for staff to change audio levels, lighting modes and sources.
- Programme: an accelerated schedule, coordinated with the site builders and Canary Wharf management, delivered ahead of schedule so the venue was trading in time for its busiest period.
The owners described the experience as “seamless, professional, and beyond expectations.” Read the full Canary Wharf case study.
What we design and install
- Zoned audio for background music by day and more energy at night, indoors and out.
- Lighting scenes that move a space through the day at the press of a button.
- Screens and displays for sport, presentations and signage.
- Simple control for staff, from a keypad, touchscreen or app.
- The network underneath, so music, screens and control stay reliable when the space is busy.
Where commercial AV fits
Bars, restaurants and rooftop terraces. Offices and meeting rooms. Gyms and studios. Developer show homes, where a properly demonstrated cinema or smart home helps sell the property. Our own showroom includes a meeting room we use for presentations with architects, interior designers and clients, so we know what a room that has to work for a meeting needs.
Choosing between AV installation companies in London
If you are comparing AV installation companies in London, these are the questions worth asking each one:
- Will they design before they quote? We survey and design first, then quote with the same clarity as our residential projects.
- Can your staff actually use it? Ask to see the control screen, not just the speaker list.
- Can they work to your programme? Canary Wharf was delivered ahead of schedule on an accelerated programme.
- Who supports it after opening night? With us, the team that built the system supports it.
- Can you see their work? Read the case study, or visit our Walton-on-Thames showroom.
Support after opening night
Our maintenance and support team is led by our Technical Services Director, Nick Dunning. It uses monitoring and remote fixes where it can, and on-site visits where it cannot, so a problem with the music on a Friday is dealt with by people who know how your system was built.
