Sound Studio, W12

Our record producer client's brief was for a full professional recording studio within the confines of his existing house and garden. A covenant on the land prohibited the construction of any permanent buildings in the garden areas, and so it was agreed that the existing semi basement of the house should be developed, whilst maintaining the domestic occupation of the rest of the house.

The spaces are accessed via an external lightwell stair with adjacent storage basement under the front garden. The control room is naturally lit and comprises much of the basement area. Off this space is a naturally lit acoustically separated recording booth, as well as a WC area and secure access into the upper part of the house.
