PROJECTING
A music studio "Grey Ray Studio" is developed specifically for our customer from Australia. Having studied the traditions and felt the Australian peculiarities in communication, we specially developed the original color scheme of the project, and also tried the plasticity of the volumes.
In the studio project, we tried to zone the space so that there were more opportunities for spending time, and at the same time, visitors and musicians did not disturb each other.
From the reception you go to the waiting area, from the waiting area you have a view of the co-working space, where you can have lunch, drink coffee for inspiration or discuss ideas. The co-working space adjoins the kitchen area, where everyone can make tea or heat up food. There is a separate hand sink nearby that won't require you to open the door again, and your hands will stay clean (as a tribute to Covid-19).
Special attention was paid to the less mobile population group, namely women with children who need their own space for feeding or serving the child.

VISUALIZATION
Reception area
The admin's area is laconic and minimalist, a built-in wardrobe is hidden in the wall, capable of hiding clothes, cleaning equipment.
A parametric table looks like a large island and attracts attention. The lighting above the reception desk is minimalist and only supports the rhythm of the table.
The ceiling is made of metal copper sheet and designed as a futuristic structure that performs the function of additional cooling of the room.
The waiting area is an integral and important area of any public interior. Imagine that you are waiting for a vocalist and nothing will ease your wait more than a large soft sofa and armchairs, and a cool drink can be placed on a large tea table.
Coworking area
The coworking area is probably one of the most interesting in the studio. We have arranged separate places for small companies, a separate bar for musicians who want to work at the moment.
The kitchen, as the central part, is made in soothing green tones. The kitchen is equipped with a coffee machine, a microwave oven for heating food, and a built-in refrigerator. Dishes are stored in hanging drawers, and tea and coffee are stored in kitchen pencil cases.
We specially arrange lighting that simulates daytime to ensure a sufficient amount of light and avoid dark areas in the interior. Depending on the time of day and the amount of light, the sensors will automatically turn on the light to the set norm.
Recording and rehearsal room
The rehearsal room is the main room in the studio. Most of the hours spent in the studio will be spent here. Taking this need into account, we specially selected a comfortable sofa for relaxing.
The area of the room fully meets the needs. A guitarist, a drummer and a vocalist can be accommodated in such a room.
The sound insulation of the room is arranged inside the room - no sound will penetrate outside.
Sanitary room
The design of the bathroom is developed according to the stylistics of the music studio. Also it is based on the unification of views and preferences of visitors. Wanting to create a "sterile" impression of the room, we sheathed it with a metal sheet, and gray plaster gives it earthiness and gives the impression of stability.
The room with a shower is made in white tones, which increases the amount of light from the lamps, thereby increasing the level of illumination in the room.
Each bathroom has colored lighting, which makes the space more interesting and colorful.
The mother and child's room is more fragile and light. The combination of white and green has a calming effect, promotes psychological rest and reduces stress.
