Innovation is the cornerstone of evolution. New ideas drive art, science and culture to new levels of existence. Antibiotics, automobiles, airplanes, computers, the internet and smart phones are all examples of ideas once thought to be science fiction, yet are now ubiquitous in our everyday lives.
The only constant is change – Heraclitus
At DHDI we watch, look and listen. A recipe of attentive listening, relentless materials research, and attention to detail helps us understand the needs and desires of cultures, and of humanity. From this framework, anything can be created. Design is by nature evolutionary. Unique, and evolving iteration upon iteration until it fits perfectly, like a glove.
Everything we design must sound, look and feel beautiful. – Hanson Hsu | DHDI founder
Quantum Acoustics
The Re-Invention of Acoustics is the confluence of design, science and technology. The innovation of acoustics began with the question “what is the root cause of acoustical issues?” The answers led us to start in the beginning, before the problems can exist. This was the beginning of understanding quantum acoustics, a new way to approach the root causes of acoustical issues, and a way to render them simply non-existent.
The result is a paradigm which applies quantum physics to air molecules, the carrier medium for sound. This revolutionary concept was driven by the late great Mike Shipley’s studio project, and named ZR for “Zero Reflection” Acoustics. Quantum Acoustics is a new, innovative science, with advanced applied technologies emerging constantly. The ZR MultiVerse is rich with options, making it easier than ever before to find the right tool for the right job.
Architecture
With thoughtful design, ubiquitous materials and business acumen, DHDI creates building structures suited to the freedoms we all yearn for. The freedom to live creatively, the freedom to live anywhere, the freedom to move anywhere, and the freedom to live and work in any fashion we so choose.

In 2006 the very talented Mike Shipley started his new life after Mutt Lange and Shania Twain, and demanded a new idea for a studio with his new Digidesign Icon console. His ultimate challenge of a rectangular room with performance levels of Record Plant or Real World Studios, gave rise to the ultimate listening experience, ZR Acoustics®. Once upon a time, heavy thick and trapezoidal were the norm in acoustics and studio design. Today, thanks to the vision of Mike Shipley, spherical, life-like imaging with wall-to-wall sweet spots are the new reference standard for acoustics.
Transportable, Modern clean lines, made in a factory at a fraction of equivalent structures, DHDI disrupts the basic concepts of architecture. Having Nomadic buildings, repeatedly transportable, with the highest levels of design, technology and amenities as a luxury structure changes the way we live, our commutes, our schooling and our freedom to live beyond the limits of our imagination.
