Los Angeles, California
This writing and mixing studio is the fourth studio project completed by nz\a for the owner, a highly accomplished film composer, spanning over more than a decade. Complementing his main studio in a commercial building, this home project studio occupies an existing guest house and illustrates how even a minimal intervention can lead to high-performing space. The quiet location required only minimal soundproofing, while the room acoustics were addressed with a ceiling cloud below the cathedral ceiling and with drapes along the windows. Side surround speakers were suspended with custom-designed steel brackets to allow for their ideal positioning. A partial raised wood platform serves as a cable management device over the existing ceramic tile flooring. An adjacent room serves as a recording space and a walk-in closet was converted to a machine room, both are connected with concealed wiring to the writing room.
