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
