Client: Landon Stanley in Nashville, TN
Design: STORM
Build: Landon Stanley

Would you believe this was built by someone who didn't own a saw before the project began?

This project features an isolated control room and vocal booth, along with an ERV installation for fresh air, all built by the client!
To achieve the required level of precision, key components of the speaker wall were cut by a CNC shop.

Some clients choose to take on the build themselves, while others work with a local builder. In both cases, success relies on carefully following plans and an open line of communication with build guidance provided from start to finish.

How does this work? The client or builder communicates the schedule and receives priority response via Messenger/WhatsApp during the build. We exchange photos throughout the process and provide detailed guidance wherever needed to ensure the work is done correctly.

At the end of the day, it's our objective that the final result both sounds and looks like it was professionally built!

Great job Landon!

As a designer with build experience, it's great to get off the computer and take on a build occasionally. The balance and mental reset this provides is something a lot of clients experience when they take on their own studio builds. For a side project last year, I switched things up by designing and building a boathouse!

Looking over acoustic measurements from our Nashville project today. The control room features Neumann KH-420 3-way monitors flush mounted in-wall, for performance that is simply unmatched by freestanding speakers. This is the best low frequency response we could ask for in this room with these speakers.
The control room and vocal booth were built inside their own isolated room shells, and the entire project was client built!

"It's performing way beyond my wildest expectations. The sound is breathtaking!"
-Vespers

This was an unconditioned 2 car garage, so the first steps were removal & infill of the garage door and 2 windows, then building an isolated inner room shell. The initial plan was for a smaller scale project in another space, but after 2 months of planning and evaluating complications, the space was deemed unsuitable and the decision was made to convert the 2 car garage to build Vespers' "ultimate dream music studio".

The acoustic build was based on my older designs, expanded from a smaller modular room build I did for Vespers back in 2018. Despite this, the acoustic design of the room comfortably sits among the best designed control rooms in Canada with an incredibly tight & detailed low frequency response from the hard flush mounted speaker wall.

A few progress shots from Ibiza

Guiding the builder on this project took a lot more support than usual, as we navigated sourcing materials and building something quite different than the guys were experienced with! The odd shape was chosen to maximize room volume and fit the available space according to the client's preferences.

Flush mounted Neumann KH-420, acoustically decoupled from the wall with a 1/8" reveal and no "picture frame". Not easily done, but they look so clean.. and of course sound fantastic! Nothing comes close to a well designed flush mounted speaker wall.

Client: Neon Steve
Design: Tom @ STORM
Build: Neon Steve

Nice to see this one all wrapped up for one of Canada's top DJ / producers and an all-around solid lad! Steve did a fantastic job with the build and it was a smooth flowing process from start to finish.

Studio design is where acoustic science and interior design meet. Every project is a well tailored suit factoring in aesthetic & ergonomic preferences, room dimensions, budget, and any future upgrade plans. The end result should be a comfortable space that sounds amazing and is enjoyable & inspiring to work in.

And now a long overdue social media update...

Some fantastic projects coming together this year!

This week the Nashville build is wrapping up. With floor plans done for the Mexico and North Carolina projects, we'll move forward on 3D renders for each plus building design details for NC.

All rooms designed around flush mounted speakers.
