It's interesting. A great collection of gear, I love that Daking, a friend of mine in the US had one. Personally though, I don't think I could work in a place like that, it just looks too..messy. For me. Mind you if I had to I would, but I like things a lot neater.
There could be something like that lurking here in the shadows, but I don't think they would let us know if there was.
Maybe Rick's shed?

That looks like my ideal studio – I love the idea of having every room in the house wired in for music making and ready to go without having to think too much about it.

Definitely a personal ethos studio... I like it though I agree a little more tidiness would be good. The idea of all that gear out in the open ready for use though is very appealing from a creative point of view.

For sure. I bet all of us have dreamed of doing that at home at some point. I assume the guy doesn't have a wife...
I was wondering about how it works with the engineer though. Is he just locked in the control room all the time, watching the input meters..waiting...ready to hit record..a bit like Phillip Glass in The Trueman Show?

I would never make my home like that. I think that you could build this into a house (or an apartment, warehouse, mansion what have you) and utilise the rooms as they are already but I wouldn't be living there. That makes it just a space that feels comfortable where music stuff happens.

Yeah I don't think you'd want to live in it (at the very least you'd need differentiation between living and working space) – more of a Joe Meek type studio, somewhere you could live in if working but not necessarily home.

I think some of the ideas could be scaled down to a home writing space quite easily though.

I like how everything is on-hand and ready to roll, but not the built-in aspect..... it looks like the setup has grown into the house as the gent acquired more gear.

Hate to say that I also have too much gear in too small a space .... but at least everything of mine is in a dedicated room and on casters so it can roll out when I get outa heyar and move into a shed-style studio ala Andy's Mill (oh to dream.....).

Always interesting to see how others attack the studio construction.
