Residential Soundproofing London:
Music Recording Studio / Shoreditch, London – read more…
Client
Private residence, Shoreditch, London
Project Brief
To design and build a recording studio, inside a penthouse apartment, for a professional recording artist, who specialises in House Music and Dubstep.
Specifically, the client required a space to freely practice and record live music, day or night, without being disturbed or causing disturbance to neighbouring apartments. Accordingly, the studio would need to isolate a broad range of sound frequencies (40-16kHz), as per the client’s musical genre, at sound pressure levels in the region of 85-90dB (taking into account the sound insulating performance of the pre-existing partitions, off-set against background noise levels).
To design and build a studio space that fits seamlessly with the surrounding architecture and reflects the client’s unique interior design aesthetic.
