Summary

Everyone likes to have their own space in which to practice their hobbies and interests and in this case our customer wanted a garden room in which they could play music without disturbing their neighbours. This would mean we would need to consider our acoustic packages and options to minimise external noise level whilst keeping internal enhancements to their fullest.

Details

At Garden Spaces we offer a large range of acoustic packages perfect for garden music studios. These include acoustic glazing and a range of floor and wall insulation options. In this project the client opted for our acoustic glazing option and our Gold Acoustic Package. This includes Silentboard plaster boarding on the walls, a double layer of acoustic plasterboard on the ceiling and Impactalay+ flooring. All these combine to create a very acoustically efficient box which allows for optimum sound quality on the inside of the studio with minimal disturbance for those outside including the neighbours and people in the customer's house.
This Helix spec building has a few upgrades which include aluminium framed doors and windows, cedar cladding on the exterior and a light switch and socket upgrade from white plastic to a brushed metal finish.
Wireless broadband was also installed, this connection being run up through the electricity cable running from the house to the studio. This means only 1 cable is needed and reduces the cost by doing it by other means.
The decking area on this studio provides a nice area for warm and sunny days and allows for full flexibility and year round use. This decking is an example of our hardwood decking option.
