A modern, purpose-built, acoustically treated recording studio that’s perfect for your next rehearsal, recording or live performance.
The studio comes equipped with a Kawai Shigeru Concert Series grand piano and has a flat timber floor space of 46 square metres and a ceiling height of 3.9 metres.
The acoustic treatment provides an environment well suited to small ensembles and vocalists. Full-length heavy drapes on three sides can be closed to reduce reverberation and create a very intimate environment.

Recording sessions

Live performances
The studio can accommodate a small audience (subject to ensemble size).
Dry Hire
