Solar Powered Studio...

The studio is a straw bale construction, framed by large logs and natural rockwork with a split floor plan. This has resulted in a space that is acoustically and thermally ideal.

The main recording room is 9m x 9m (27ft x 27ft) with a ceiling 5m high (15ft) at the apex.
There is a separate Iso room, visually connected to the main studio.
