 “Studio Builds did an amazing job soundproofing and acoustically treating my new studio space. They really got what I was trying to do and figured out away of making it happen, all within time and budget. Since I’ve moved in I’ve given his number to half a dozen people wanting to know where I got my amazing panelling from, its the talk or the studio complex!”

“Barny at Studio Builds worked really hard to help us make the most of our small and intimate space. The acoustic panelling is beautifully crafted and the end result not only looks great but sounds fantastic too. They built a custom monitor bridge and desk legs too that are sturdy, innovative and functional in a variety of ways. It was a pleasure to have such a friendly and funny man working on the build with us. We’d use him again in a flash.”

“Barny at StudioBuilds constructed a long-time dream from start to finish. From sketches and planning permission, to hidden whisky cabinets and bookshelf doors - he managed to interpret my crazy demands, and somehow keep things on budget. The talk of the studio is always the birch ply finishings, doors and door frames tying into window frames and radiator covers...There is also a huge, two-tier producer island - over 4 metres long and housing all the outboard. The control room is perfectly balanced with focused bass, and the live room has live and dampened options, simply by moving the instruments around. Built from a producer's mindset, the studio is as practical as it is magical."

“Beautifully built, and with outstanding attention to detail, Studio Builds made a very complicated build seem straight forward. Our new office is a wonderful and creative place to run our growing practice from.”

 

Christine Smith - Music Therapist

“Studio Builds helped me in planning the best solution for soundproofing my music therapy room at Kite Studios in West London. They suggested that we do the sound proofing work in stages as we weren’t quite sure how much noice reduction was needed. The solution was four large panels with cover material of my choice, and they made the room both functional and stylish.

Barny was very supportive and creative when helping me to make decisions for sound proofing my Music Therapy treatment room at Kite Studios in West London. The end result is both functional and stylish and the whole process was made easy for me.”

James Burrell - Producer / Composer 

“Barny at Studio Builds is highly resourceful, reliable and inventive. He built an outstanding studio while making the process fun and collaborative .

Barny’s background as a music producer and studio owner is invaluable. He understands that a space both needs to work practically and feel inspiring. He is brilliant at working with the constraints of a site and proposing cost effective, unique solutions. I am thrilled with my studio!”
