Glenwood Studio B

Glenwood Studios' Studio B is a historic recording studio located within Glenwood Studios, a legendary creative oasis in Burbank, California, featuring 6 world-class studios with high-end recording equipment, premium amenities, and beautiful outdoor gardens and private courtyards with fireplaces and water features. Glenwood has been home to countless influential recording artists over many decades, including Bruno Mars, Lada Gaga, Rihanna, Arianna Grande, Maroon 5, Adele, Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Paramore, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, Rosé, Alex Warren, SZA, and more.

Studio B was recently rebuilt following catastrophic rains that caused extensive damage to the building's roof and interior. Rather than approaching the project as a simple repair, the team used the rebuild as an opportunity to preserve the room's legacy while rethinking its acoustic character, architectural identity, and creative experience for the way records are made today.

“The design language emphasizes warmth, comfort, and acoustic performance without allowing the space to feel overly technical or clinical,” says David Kotch of Criterion Acoustics. White oak, brick, exposed beams, black micro-perforated materials, warm lighting, and bold but muted colors run throughout, giving Studio B its own identity while connecting it to the rest of the Glenwood campus.

Studio Director Kit Rebhun drew the interior palette from a day at the ocean, aiming for a calming vibe that often serves as a second home for the studio's clients.
