THE SPACES THAT we design and inhabit have distinctive sounds, from the way a whisper is carried through a cathedral to the satisfying clink of your wine glass in the dining room. Sound and form are inextricable, but more often than not, sound is only an afterthought in interior design projects. The most aesthetically pleasing space could end up as the least acoustically satisfying, and what a waste that would be.
This is where AV Intelligence comes in. Founded in 2010 by 47-year-old Andy Kennard, formerly a director of enterprise sales at Microsoft and general manager of Devialet Asia, what began as an independent hobby business has become the AV consultant of Singapore. AV Intelligence, a handsome space situated on the ground floor of Millenia Walk, is more than just another retail showroom selling headphones and wireless speakers. Instead, it is your one-stop-shop for home cinema, hi-fi systems, multi-room audio, acoustic treatments and home automation. It also handles the design, consultation, installation and maintenance for projects – the whole shebang.
