Originally Kendun Recorders, the new home of Glenwood Place Studios was once one of the top facilities in the southland. 30 years and several project studios later, the intent of the project was to metamorphose the four room complex and unify it through a new central court and garden to create a unique free-flowing environment.
A new glass reception building was built from the ground up to act as the main control hub for the entire facility. Over 4,000 square feet of recording area were completely transformed and more than 700 square feet of interior client space was added.

Facility Plan
The new client lounges were carved into the existing stucco facades. Enlarged windows and full height window walls allowed these spaces to open themselves to luscious gardens and allow natural light to penetrate these once cavernous volumes.
The first room to go online, 'The Maple Room', is a spacious studio that features an 80-input, Rupert Neve-designed Amek 9098i console with moving faders and Supertrue Automation. The performance space is divided into a live area, and two isolation rooms.
The 'Stealth Room' is 5.1 dedicated room equipped with cutting-edge digital technology, including a Euphonix System 5 digital console.
The third room, dubbed 'The Workshop', is a 5.1 tracking and mixing room that houses an additional Amek 9098i console. The recording area features 18 foot ceilings and several isolation booths. At almost 1500 sf, it is large enough to accommodate a 60-piece string session.
The fourth room, already titled 'The Cherry Room', will be 5.1 ready and is expected to be operational by 2003.
All rooms are equipped with custom YDCG 15-2B studio monitors that utilize dual 15-inch Focal speakers and Stage Accompany ribbon tweeters.
