Studio Design
StudioBuild provides professional studio design services across the UK. We design the acoustic and architectural layout of your studio before a single wall is built, so the finished space performs exactly as intended.
Specialist Studio Design Services
Good studio design happens before construction starts. Room proportions, isolation build-up and acoustic treatment all need to be planned together, because decisions made at the design stage are far harder and more expensive to fix once building work is underway. StudioBuild provides dedicated studio design services for clients who need this groundwork done properly.
Whether you are planning a recording studio, podcast room, broadcast facility or any other specialist space, our design service covers layout, acoustics and technical specification, ready to hand to a construction team, including our own.

Technical Considerations in Studio Design
Good studio design considers the whole room, not just the finishes applied afterwards.
Room acoustics: proportions are chosen to minimise problematic room modes before construction.
Sound isolation: isolation build-ups are specified as part of the design, not added afterwards.
Workflow: layout is designed around how the finished space will actually be used.
Equipment integration: power, cabling and rack space are planned into the design from the outset.
Ventilation: ventilation is coordinated with isolation requirements at the design stage.

Studio Design FAQs
Do you only design studios, or can you build them too?
We offer both. Our design service can stand alone, or we can carry the project through to construction and installation ourselves.
Can you work alongside our existing architect or contractor?
Yes, we regularly provide specialist acoustic and studio design input alongside architects and contractors on wider projects.
What do you deliver as part of a studio design project?
You receive layout drawings, acoustic specifications and technical documentation ready to hand to a construction team.
How long does the studio design process take?
This depends on project complexity, but most design projects take a few weeks from consultation to final specification.
Can you design a studio for a space that does not exist yet?
Yes, we regularly design studios as part of new-build or extension projects, working from architectural plans before the space is built.
Do you design studios for any specific type of use?
We design for recording, music, podcast, broadcast, post-production and content creation studios, among other specialist uses.
