Have you ever dreamed of playing drums at any hour without bothering your neighbors? One of our clients, a drummer and drum instructor, wanted exactly that. In this project, we designed a fully soundproof basement studio where he can teach lessons, jam with friends, and record in peace—24/7.

Soundproof Design That Works

The studio sits on a concrete slab in the basement and features:

  • Floating, multi-layer walls: OSB and multiple layers of drywall for maximum sound isolation

  • Decoupled ceiling: Furring channels and clips with insulation to prevent sound transfer

  • ISO store doors with built-in glass: Adds natural light without sacrificing isolation

This careful combination of materials and techniques ensures that the drummer can play as loud as he wants, even at 3 AM.

Functional & Beautiful Space

We didn’t just focus on isolation, we designed a room that’s practical and visually inspiring:

  • Acoustic panels with diffusion create a bright, lively sound

  • Custom panels and G.I.K treatments enhance both absorption and aesthetic appeal

  • Electrical planning includes isolated outlets, Ethernet ports, and specialized power for monitoring and recording

Every detail was planned to make the studio a joy to use, not just a soundproof box.

Why 3D Renders Matter

Before construction, we create detailed 3D renders of every project. This allows clients to:

  • Visualize the final studio

  • Understand placement of doors, panels, and electrical outlets

  • Guide contractors to build the space accurately
