On the site of an old garage in Bushwick, we built a Willy Wonka factory for audio technology for the recording industry. The new two-story facility contains a recording studio, an R&D lab, a vast assembly room, a lushly planted breakout lounge, and an anechoic testing chamber (one of the quietest places in North America). All of these are linked by an open metal stair that winds its way up to an expansive roof deck with Manhattan views. The recording studio is a precisely calibrated geometry floating within a CMU box, which emerges compositionally on the front façade of the building.
