So we have finally finished the sub-floor for the whole studio! It's slowly beginning to take shape.

There isn't nearly enough space to build another room for a dedicated communal area, so we built in a higher level at the back of the control room in order to separate the work space from the hospitality area. We'll place some sofas or beanbags

So after deciding to pass on installing a toilet, we thought we'd at least install a kitchen... Or at the very least prepare to install a kitchen.

Instead the studio will eventually have a small kitchen in the isolation corridor. ​ However, we don't w

A hurdle we knew we would have to face eventually has temporarily halted the work on the studio sub-floor. What can only be described as a large metal table is getting in the way of our timber work and needs to be chopped down.
