The Delaski studio was created within the envelope
of a guesthouse, which has undergone several alterations since
its original California Modernist beginning as a carport.
It is sited within a quiet residential neighborhood. The client
requested a mixing room and a live recording room (to also
be used for yoga and meditation) where he would be inspired
to relax and make his ambient / electronica music. His main
aesthetic concern was that the spaces feel like a "lounge."
The existing structure was situated immediately
adjacent to the master bedroom within the house. A major challenge
was to create an acoustically isolated and tuned "room
within a room" while providing plenty of storage for
equipment in an envelope that was already far too small. To
conserve space we fused built-in storage with lighting and
panels that modulate the acoustical character of the rooms.
The wall surfaces have unique angles that assist in dampening
reverberant sound.
