East Nashville Music Studio Build Testimonial

“Hey, I’m Kate Malone and we are sitting in our brand new studio, Dual Nature Music in East Nashville.”
 
“My favorite part of the studio is actually the most difficult part to acoustically treat, which is the high ceilings. But I knew when we were in the design phase for this building that it needed to be a building that I could physically work in and I needed a lot of light. You know, most studios are very dark. So, since we were doing a smaller space, we had the flexibility to really install a lot of windows, which has been great cuz I spend a lot of long, long days out here. And if I can at least see sunlight from the outside, it works for me. It makes me, you know, a sane person. So, that’s my favorite part is just the general structure of the building and the and the shape that we were able to come up with.”
 
“When you’re writing a song or when you’re recording music, a lot of times people need a bathroom break as also a mental break. And so the bathroom really needs to be inspiring. One of the special things about this building is it’s very cozy. You know, I wanted it to be a creative space where people felt very comfortable, you know, singing, recording, writing music. People do their best work when they’re in, I think, a space that’s visually inspiring and a space that people feel just very comfortable being in. We’re so grateful to have had such a reliable and consistent partner in Building Company Number Seven to help us bring this vision to life.”

“And I already have referred several people over to you guys because we had such a great experience.”

“I think it’s hard to find contractors that can do this sort of middle ground where you’re building a creative space, but also, you know, when we sell this property, this doesn’t have to be a studio. This could be a long-term rental. This could be an Airbnb.”

“We knew that we were going to have a lot of kind of specific asks for this building. We were looking for somebody who was going to give us a really specific itemized quote because, you know, certain things like interior doors is a great example. You know, you can spend $3,000 on a soundproof studio door. Some people choose to do that. They decide that that is important. The choice that we made is we just got some really like some higher quality solid core wood doors cuz we felt like that was probably going to get us pretty close. And we did some other things like installing like sweeps around the edge. We were trying to hit that middle ground of not overinvesting but not underinvesting. And so the quoting process with building company number seven was great because the quote came to us and everything was broken down into really small categories. There was also, you know, graphs, timelines of when the biggest expenses were going to, you know, we were going to incur those.”

“So, I felt very comfortable with the financial part of it, you know, moving forward, especially knowing that there were some things that we were going to ask for like extra, you know, cocking around the outlets and all that stuff that where we padded certain categories saying we were going to spend a little more on electrical. We’re going to have a lot of outlets. We’re gonna have low voltage wiring run through the walls and we’re going to need them to be there for maybe like an extra day to just get everything, you know, up to our standards, which are a little bit more elevated than just regular, you know, regular residential standards.”

“I definitely felt like building company number seven was a great option for somebody who has the patience to talk about these acoustic considerations, but is also super familiar with the residential space and familiar with what’s going to work and look good and look clean and, you know, all that stuff.
