Project Audio Visual (PAV) has joined forces with interior design and build specialists Unscripted to reshape how AV and architectural design teams collaborate in workplace projects.

Instead of treating AV as a final fix, the two companies are working together from day one to create spaces where technology is fully integrated and aligned with the design vision.
In many projects, AV is still brought in at the end, often leading to compromises in layout, function and finish. This partnership flips that script, embedding AV thinking into the early stages of planning and design, so that technology supports rather than competes with the space.
Stefan van der Plas, founder of Unscripted says: “Working with an AV company from the very start has completely reshaped how I think about the design process. AV isn't just something you drop in at the end, it’s as foundational as lighting or flooring. Having Leroy and the Project Audio Visual team involved from day one meant we could make smarter, more integrated decisions that elevate the entire experience.”
By collaborating early, the teams can plan holistically, considering cabling, acoustic needs, infrastructure and user behaviour in tandem with materials, layout and finishes. The result is a more efficient, joined-up process and spaces that feel seamless for users.
Leroy Seket, head of European operations at Project Audio Visual comments: “AV isn’t just about equipment. It’s about enabling connection, culture and experience. When AV has a voice at the design table, everyone wins. By partnering with Unscripted on projects from the very start, we can ensure technology isn’t an afterthought but a part of the aesthetic and culture.
“From intuitive platform driven or BYOD meeting rooms to fully integrated town hall and interactive collaboration zones, we help create offices people want to work in. Our mission is to keep teams connected, engaged and empowered at the touch of a button.”
This partnership highlights the benefits of integrating AV as a core part of the design and build process, rather than a technical add-on. It’s a model both teams believe can help raise the bar for workplace environments across the board.
Project Audio Visual will be sharing lessons from this collaboration at the Workplace Design Show in Amsterdam from 5th - 6th November, spotlighting how early-stage alignment between AV and design teams leads to better outcomes for clients, designers and end users alike.
