marquine office space




 What i like about this space is the many different levels and the way the bright colours contrast with
                            the mainly white colour which is a constant throughout the space.

What needs to be in the recording studios!

  • Mixing console

  • Multitrack rec

  • Microphones

  • Reference monitors, which are loudspeakers with a flat frequency response

  • Keyboard

  • Acoustic drum kit

  • Digital audio workstation

  • Music workstation

  • On Air or Recording Light

  • Outboard effects


  • Recording studios generally have 3 main rooms , the main studio, the control room and the machine room where the heavier instruments are recorded.

    What am i doing for project.

    I have decided to create a muti purpose,multi genre music recording studio and live music venue. The location of the building is perfect for a recording studio as it has a basement where alot of recording studios are located. I would also like to include food in some way into a design as i think food, culture and music go together well.

    what is in the design

    I wanted the space to feel very modern and having a sense of luxury for the people living there. So residents wouldnt have to leave the building to go for a swim or go to the gym. There would be eight bedrooms in total which would each have a bathroom, there would be a wardens fat which would be twice the size of a normal residents bedroom.
     At the ground level of the building there would be a centre office/ staff space which would be viewable with glass on all four sides around this central space there would be a multi purpose space which would have computers, library shelves sofas and relaxation areas looking out on one side to the canal through the large windows which would allow light to flood into the space and light it up.
     Residents would be able to eat there meals on the lower ground floor in a restaurant style area. In this area there would also be a bar which could be used on all four sides. The bar would also be open to the public with access gained from the canal side.

    inspiration!

    My main inspirations during this project have been minimalist and clean interiors which give the feeling of being free and open as it makes a space feel clean relaxed and friendly.


    Occupants

    The age group of people i have chosen to occupy the chapel after it has been renovated is retired people from the age of 55 who want to live a healthy and active lifestyle whilst still having the option to be cared for if there health deteriorates as there would be a warden who would live there all of the time in a separate wardens flat.
