Project Design Description

1. Project Overview

Meow’s Sound Studio is located in Guangming District, Shenzhen, and is the first certified 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos recording studio in Shenzhen. Situated within a residential building, the project faced particularly stringent acoustic requirements due to the sensitivity of the surrounding living environment. As a professional facility dedicated to high-quality recording and music production, the studio was designed to achieve professional-grade recording, mixing, and scoring capabilities while fully complying with residential acoustic standards.

2. Space Planning

The project occupies a total area of approximately 110㎡, comprising the following functional spaces:

• Control Room

• Piano Recording      Room

• Vocal Recording      Room

• Reception &      Lounge Area

• Restroom

3. Design & Technical Highlights

(1) Residential Conversion with High-Performance Sound Isolation

Given the unique challenges of a residential setting, the entire studio was designed with comprehensive sound isolation measures. Extensive acoustic treatments effectively minimize external noise intrusion and sound leakage, ensuring a quiet, stable, and professional recording environment while maintaining harmony with the surrounding residential community.

(2) Control Room: Genelec 8340A 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos Monitoring System

The control room is equipped with a 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos monitoring system built around the Genelec 8340A series, providing a professional platform for advanced audio production, including:

• Film and      television scoring

• Game audio      production

• Immersive music      mixing

• Dolby Atmos      content creation

(3) Piano Recording Room

The piano recording room features a distinctive acoustic design inspired by the visual language of piano keys.

• The wall      treatment consists of irregularly angled acoustic modules that resemble a      sequence of dynamic piano keys. These elements not only provide effective      acoustic control but also bring rhythm and movement to the space.

• Dedicated sheet      music display cabinets and cable storage systems have been incorporated to      improve organization and support daily studio operations.

(4) Vocal Recording Room: Concealed Foley Pit

A concealed Foley pit is integrated into the floor. The floor hatch can be opened when Foley recording is required and closed during regular vocal recording sessions, allowing the room to seamlessly accommodate multiple functions while maximizing space efficiency.

(5) Overall Design Concept

The overall design combines layered spatial composition with geometric forms to create a dynamic, contemporary, and inspiring creative environment. Through the interplay of varying volumes, angles, and architectural details, the studio achieves a balance between professional functionality, modern aesthetics, and artistic expression.

Conclusion

Meow’s Sound Studio is a residential-conversion recording facility that sets a new benchmark for professional studio design in Shenzhen. Built upon a foundation of high-performance sound isolation, the project integrates Dolby Atmos mixing, piano recording, vocal production, and Foley recording capabilities within a single cohesive environment.

With its rich spatial character, modern architectural language, and professional acoustic performance, the studio successfully establishes a model for a music production space that is quiet, professional, and visually distinctive, even within a residential setting.
