Picked a “scheme”
So, we went with Scheme #1. They sent me two ideas (schemes) and the first one was a definite winner for me. I spoke with the architects on Wednesday and asked a whole bunch of questions and we make a few changes to the design.
They’ll make the changes, then have their acoustical engineers go through the design and do some simulations and calculations. They may have to adjust the designs a bit to make sure things sound right. I’m supposed to get the next set of plans early next week.
We accepted an offer on the old space, so we have a closing for that on August 28th. That means starting August 28th, the studio will be floating a bit until the new facility is completed. Luckily, the building owner has let us use a small office space next to the new studio for a month or so while we do the construction. It won’t be ideal, but we’ll still be open for business (so we can actually pay for the construction, heh). At least we’ll be adjacent to the new studio, so I can keep an eye on construction (and post lots of pics here!).
Here’s the Scheme I picked (below). Some of the changes that are coming are: adding 52″ LCD between the monitors, adding a second ramp on the other side of the mix position, etc.
