OVERVIEW

Artworks Complex

Artworks Music Studios and Residential Complex is an idea that covers all possible musical needs including Music Production, Recording, Mixing, Mastering, Rehearsing and Lodging. A concept designed and built from scratch according all technical specifications that a modern world-class studio requires.

We imagined an ideal place where anyone’s highest expectations concerning music could be met. All customers can be hosted and entertained in the guest house with it’s swimming pool backyard, make their business appointments in the meeting room-roof garden, rehearse their music in two spacious rehearsal studios and of course produce, record, mix and master in two world class, state of the art studios that can be provided up to the highest possible level.

This project is aimed at record companies, music producers, musicians, audio engineers, bands and generally anyone involved and willing to invest in a world-class music complex situated close to the former national airport of Greece (municipality of Hellinikon), which is one of the greatest targets for real estate investment in Greece.

FLOOR PLANS
Building Description
1. Underground Areas

The underground part of the building is separated in the three following sections, each one for a separate use :

a) A music rehearsal studio consisting of two rehearsal rooms (30 sq.m. and 40 sq.m.) with independent lounge and coffee bar covering a surface of 135 sq.m.

In a space, specially designed and built for this particular purpose, two floating and totally decoupled rehearsal rooms were built on special platform consisting of concrete and sylomer (elastic anti-vibration material) making it a true room in a room construction. This way we managed to achieve the best possible sound isolation.

Each room is powered by an amazing 6Kw audio power through 2:1 speaker systems. In each room mixing and monitoring is controlled digitally through Avid’s Protools hd2 systems. This way recalling complicated settings of each client is a matter of seconds.
