Design Overview: A Sneak Peek Into My First DIY Home Studio

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.
