Design Overview: A Sneak Peek Into My First DIY Home Studio
Updated: Apr 5, 2021
I did a TERRIBLE job documenting the build of this container studio. (I'm new to being a slumlord influencer) So I made this video to show off some of the design choices in it's construction.
Check out the specs below..
Nickname:
The tank, alpha tank, doom dungeon,
Current Location:
Industrial estate 15min from inner city.
Container:
20f high-cubic capacity (one-tripper). Bought from container reseller
Framing:
Standard timber frame 90x45mm pine
Internal Sheeting:
16mm fire-check plasterboard (drywall).
Sound isolation techniques:
Room within a room - frame isolated from external
Extra thick 16mm firecheck plasterboard
Sound isolated ventilation system
Fancy Features:
Nib wall for stashing cases
Split system AC
Tall-ass
Regrets?
LED down lights - create big perforations in the plasterboard for sound to escape. I wouldn't do this again.
Single layer of thick plaster (drywall) - next time I would go 2x layers of standard 10mm
More sound absorption panels.
Build Time:
Part time ~2 months
Total Build Cost:
~$12,000-ish (including AC and labour). Stay tuned for an update. I gotta count my receipts.
