Recording Studio Design
The foundation of our firm is built upon designing professional recording studios for music, post production, Dolby Atmos, podcasting, and more. It’s what we do best. We understand the needs of audio engineers and design spaces that put engineers and their work first.
Acoustic Consulting
Acoustic consulting comes in many forms—whether you need to troubleshoot a specific room resonance, resolve a reverberation issue, or get to the bottom of why you can hear your neighbors so clearly, we can help. We’ll work hard to understand the issues you’re facing and come up with practical solutions together that you can implement.
Noise and Vibration Control
Unwanted sound from air conditioners, mechanical equipment, pipes, and other sources can ruin a take or an entire environment. We measure and evaluate noise and vibrations and design solutions to alleviate the problems. If it’s a ground-up build, we’ll make sure you never experience these types of issues to begin with.
Acoustic Testing and Analysis
Complex issues require data to properly understand and solve. We perform a whole host of on-site acoustic testing with precise measurement equipment to capture acoustic problems in all their forms. We then analyze the results to define the best solutions.
Treatment and Reverberation Control
A room with too much reflect and reverberation can be difficult to be in. Worse off, it can decrease speech intelligibility, making it hard to communicate. A room with too little reflection can sound dull and make you feel uncomfortable. That’s where we come in. We design solutions that can make your room sound just right.
Acoustic Prediction and Modeling
We don’t leave the results of our work up to chance. We use the latest tools to model and predict just how a room we’ve designed will sound once done. We can map room modes, anticipate a wall’s transmission loss, predict reverberation time, and more. Certainty is always better than a guess.
Custom Studio Furniture Design
The centerpiece of a recording studio is its gear. We design custom desks, racks, amp shelves, mic cabinets, and anything else you can dream up to store and operate your equipment in style. We design with cable management, accessibility, and maintainability in mind. Our designs are as buildable as they are beautiful.
Interior Design
Every room is made up of colors, fabrics, materials, textures, lighting, and furniture. It’s true though, that the whole of a room is far greater than the some of its parts. We design cohesive spaces where each element compliments the next to create just the right look and feel to match your style or brand.
Construction Administration
Our expertise continues after we’ve handed over the plans. We stay onboard as a resource to your contractor to provide critical guidance throughout the construction process. We evaluate progress at key milestones to ensure that all room dimensions and isolation techniques are built to plan so you don’t have any surprises when you move in.
With over 15+ years of experience, our expertise applies wherever sound is a priority.
