How to Bring Organized Calm to an 8' x 10' Sound Studio

This was a very different project then the typical Interior Design or Re-Design challenge.  This was designing a VERY small room (only 8' x 10') into a functional, organized, calm sound studio for a nationally syndicated radio host who works out of her home.  Sound quality, acoustics, projection, equipment, wiring, lighting.... as well as a space that Guests could come in to record interviews had to ALL be implemented into this tiny 8' x 10' space.

Here are a couple befores of the studio:

The Client was inspired by the colors and feel of the new W Hotel in downtown Los Angeles: smokey mauves, metals, stark whites, and natural elements and textures; so we tried to incorporate that as much as possible while keeping the functionality implemented. 

Here are the after photos of this sound studio design:

New wood floors were installed, all new office furniture and desk in the stark whites she liked so much. Acoustic panels were added to the wall behind the workspace to absorb even more sound and alleviate feed-back into the studio microphone.  Drapes, although not typically used in studios, were added for both sound absorption as well as functionally giving her privacy when she hosts her night time radio shows (remember, this is in her HOUSE).  New directional lighting was installed as well as tons of storage space.

Our Client wanted "Organized Calm" for her sound studio and I think    know we achieved that for her.
