Retro Japanese-Inspired TECHNICA HOUSE Opens in NYC
Imagine a 1970s listening bar in Tokyo – with a lounge for networking and a podcasting studio equipped for 2024. From record players to sushi robots, TECHNICA HOUSE combines captivating elements of the past and the present. Based in the heart of SoHo, this new creative hub is intended for the modern artistic mastermind with a penchant for retro design. The space was visualized by two top Japanese tech companies, AUTEC and Audio-Technica.
Because of its audio tech roots, TECHNICA HOUSE naturally caters to audiophiles and those in the AV industry. The podcasting studio includes state-of-the-art equipment, and can also be used for recording music. The space also broadcasts its own in-house radio show called “At One” which features interviews with New York City’s top artists and innovators. Design-wise, the interior is reminiscent of a vintage radio recording studio with its leather seats and analog microphones.
Beyond the recording studio, the listening lounge is a space for both creators and appreciators of analog sound systems. The retro-modern interior blends the gap between cozy and industrial. With a handpicked collection of over 2,000 vinyl records, guests are encouraged to sit back and absorb the rich acoustics and immersive atmosphere.
For those who seek a tranquil, professional environment, TECHNICA HOUSE also offers a fully-equipped conference room for business meetings. Whether creatives want to network, co-work, or simply brainstorm, this encouraging and contemporary environment offers endless opportunities.
On top of the creative spaces, TECHNICA HOUSE is a pioneer in one-of-a-kind dining. Their in-house sushi restaurant is called SUSHIDELIC, taking direct inspiration from Japanese robot sushi bars. The sushi counter features professional chef demos and a fusion of sound and flavor. The interior was thoughtfully designed by Sebastian Masuda, also dubbed the “Godfather of Kawaii” by Time Magazine. The interior is slated to be a vibrant, colorful interpretation of Japanese Kawaii culture.
TECHNICA HOUSE redefines the concept of a creative space, seamlessly blending retro Japanese design with cutting-edge technology. Whether you’re an audiophile, a podcaster, or a sushi enthusiast, the space offers something for everyone. Every corner invites guests to immerse themselves in the beauty of analog sound. TECHNICA HOUSE is more than just a place to work — it’s a vibrant community where cultures converge. Founded in 1962, Audio-Technica is best represented by their quote, “Great audio should not be enjoyed only by the select few, but accessible to all.”
