Private Double Drum Studio

Project Overview

DECIBEL was tasked with transforming a space into a functional and stylish "man cave" for playing two drum sets and hosting small rock concerts. Located in a premium residential area, the project aimed to balance industrial design with acoustics, soundproofing, and interior aesthetics. The client desired a space that not only looked appealing but also provided optimal acoustics for music performance and practice.

Challenge

The challenge was to create a space that met the client's vision for an industrial-style environment while also addressing acoustic and soundproofing requirements for drum sets and live performances. Additionally, the space needed to include a bathroom, small kitchen, and custom furniture, all while maintaining the integrity of the acoustic performance and achieving the desired industrial look.

Solution

DECIBEL’s solution included a mix of acoustic and soundproofing techniques, such as double-wall construction and hidden acoustic treatments, to ensure sound isolation. We designed and implemented a full HVAC system for proper ventilation and comfort. The interior featured industrial-style furniture and decor, complemented by custom-built furniture tailored to the space’s needs. Acoustic balance was finely tuned to ensure optimal sound for music practice and performances.

Result

The final result was a fully functional, acoustically balanced "man cave" that combined the best of both worlds—high-performance acoustics and industrial interior design. The space met the client's requirements for music performance while maintaining a stylish and comfortable environment, making it an ideal venue for drum sessions and intimate concerts. The client was thrilled with the results and the versatility of the space provided.
