Located in Porirua, The Social Project was designed as more than a traditional gym. This lifestyle club brings together fitness, wellness, recovery, and community in a modern, well-designed environment.
Safe N Sound was engaged to deliver a fully integrated technology solution, coordinating audio-visual systems, security infrastructure, and access control systems through one unified platform. The goal was to support both the club’s premium member experience and its day-to-day operations.

Tailored Technology for a Lifestyle Club
The Social Project required technology that could support a variety of spaces within the same facility.
These included:
- Gym floor, wellness studio, Pilates room, and group fitness areas
- Reception, café, and community hub
- Kids zone and staff areas
Each system was designed to align with how the space is used day to day.
From immersive audio systems to discreetly integrated security infrastructure, the technology enhances the environment without interrupting the design of the space.
Key considerations included:
- Clear, immersive audio across training and recovery zones
- Digital displays for content and communication
- Secure access systems suited to a 24/7 model
- Clean, unobtrusive hardware installation
The result is a space where technology supports the experience rather than competing with it.
Advanced Technology Integration
Multiple integrated systems work together to support both member experience and operational efficiency.
Multi-Zone Audio & Displays
A fully integrated AV system was installed across the facility, allowing different zones to operate independently.
Features include:
