Overview

Project Summary

Recording StudioCorporate

A flagship writing and production complex for one of the world's leading music publishers, engineered to deliver professional tracking, mixing, and creative work in a corporate envelope.

Each room is decoupled from the building structure with floating floors and isolated wall and ceiling assemblies, eliminating transfer between adjacent writing rooms and the surrounding office floor.

Custom millwork integrates broadband absorption and tuned diffusion at the rear wall, producing a flat, predictable response built around large-format consoles and outboard racks.

01

Defined the program

Worked with the creative team to set isolation, monitoring, and workflow targets for writing, tracking, and mixing.

02

Built isolated shells

Designed floating floors, decoupled ceilings, and isolated walls so each studio runs without bleed into adjacent rooms.

03

Integrated the racks

Coordinated millwork, outboard layouts, and console positioning for ergonomic, low-reflection workspaces.

04

Tuned the response

Aligned monitoring and verified room response with measurement before turnover.
