A bunch of new pics today.

Control room walls are starting to be built.

The front wharehouse door was closed.

And big news for today! We have the front door in place! Yayyyyy

A new batch of rock wool has arrived.

12cm distance between the Controll room wall and Studio wall for sound isolation. This cavity will be filled with 2 different rock wool weights.

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.

Hey guys lots of photos from the weekend.
The work has been taking off now with 5 construction workers on site full time.

This first day the constructors are digging some ditches to serve as a base for the walls that will support the ceiling.

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.
