Sam’s Recording Studio

Meet Sam: a music composer, producer and proud owner of this brand new U-Build recording studio.

Built during the pandemic lockdown with his very own hands and the support from us throughout the process, this Western Red Cedar clad pod is an acoustically tuned garden oasis for Sam to compose his wonderful music in.

We created a video case study with Sam, sharing his post-build experiences, which you can watch below. The project showcases some really cool customisations, including herringbone cladding, sound proofing and an infra-red heater disguised as a picture frame. We are thrilled with the efforts that Sam has put into building his garden studio, and we loved helping him throughout the process. Now he has the perfect creative hub to make music at home… (without disturbing the family!)
