The oneworld lounge was created to offer competitive amenities for first and business class guests through a technology centered lounge. The use of AV technologies became a key factor for accomplishing this goal. From the main entry and beyond AV technologies are present and blend seamlessly into the clean architectural design.

Video Art Wall
Originally the Architect and had envisioned a live jellyfish tank as guests entered the lounge. Space restrictions required an alternative but equally impressive solution. The result is a 3x3 video art display. This became a theme of the lounge with an additional video art display located in the private shower corridor. In addition television displays double as video art when not in use.
Audio Systems
Background music is also an important aspect of the lounge,and the owners were looking for something beyond typical music services. An internet based music server was installed to provide custom themed music for each zone in the lounge. Each night the server automatically downloads a new selection of audio files to keep the music fresh.
A t-coil loop was also required for hearing assistance of the paging system; a phased array system was designed to adequately cover the entire lounge.
Video Displays
Video displays are distributed throughout the lounge and connected to a central routing system. The system distributes television feeds, video art, and flight information (FIDS). The video displays were carefully integrated with the architecture. The Bar displays were outfitted with custom bezels color matched by the interior designer.
Control Systems
The owner also turned to the AV team for a number of unique solutions. One was for a signaling panel used by cleaning staff to notify the host when private showers are ready for the next guest. A simple solution was designed using the AMX control system.
