Sony Studio

The project consisted of the comprehensive transformation of a 3-storey building previously used as a gym and swimming pool, converting it into the largest recording studio in Spain within its typology and area of specialisation.

The building is the most advanced and complete recording studio in its category, featuring 2 production rooms, 2 control rooms with ISO booths, a live room, a media room, a content creation room, meeting areas, offices, a cafeteria, a terrace, a kitchen and rest areas.

We have brought to fruition

Top-quality acoustics

By integrating advanced soundproofing and acoustic-conditioning solutions, using box-in-box systems, floor damping, decoupled enclosures and suspended ceilings independent from the building’s main structure. A total of 58 contractors and suppliers were coordinated to ensure strict compliance with Sony’s demanding acoustic and execution standards.

We have made possible

Comprehensive renewal of building services

Adapting and integrating all building services (HVAC, ventilation, electrical systems, fire protection and data networks) to ensure correct performance within an acoustically demanding environment, meeting requirements for comfort, efficiency, maintenance and acoustic control.

We’ve worked with dedication

An innovative management model: project definition + execution

We worked with simultaneous coordination between project definition and refurbishment execution, an innovative management model that enabled us to meet extremely demanding deadlines, with an initial delivery after 4 months to allow the installation of audiovisual equipment, and final delivery 6 months after the start of construction.
