The walls keep growing steadily. The back and side studio walls are almost all the way up!


Keep in mind that the actual ceiling will still be lifted 50cm during its repair.
Now they are finishing the studio wall facing the control room.




Crappy samsung phone pictures but you can begin to get a sense of space. It is actually larger then it seems in the pictures. Gotta bring a decent camera one of these days.


Meanwhile the front door has arrived. They will have to make a new opening for it and close the space where the old wharehouse door was.

Hello Folks,

After many years reading studio build threads on the www.gearslutz.com forum I'm proud to announce my very own Studio Construction Blog.

It will be on a warehouse around 96 square meters and 4.0 meters high.
The studio design is by the great Marcelo Tavares from AudioDesigner who has built many great Studios here in Portugal.

The Studio will consist of a Control Room, Vocal Booth and main recording Studio. Near the entrance a small lobby used as a hang out area and a toillet.

I will post regular updates with photos and the work in progress.
Hope you guys like it and make some comments and suggestions.
