The UK’s newest residential studio
By Erica Basnicki
DESIGN agency The Studio People Ltd has designed and constructed a new fully residential music studio in Warwickshire called Vada Recording Studios. Producer and studio owner
Matt Terry (Noisettes, One Night Only, Ocean Colour Scene), contacted Studio People MD Peter Keeling back in April 2012 with a view to purchasing a property that included old barns ideal for the new facility. “Initially I planned for a
building company to take care of the residential build while Studio People handled the
studio side of things,” says Terry. “You watch [the Channel Four’s] Grand Designs and you see all these disasters and contractors who can’t work with each other, so it was a relief when Peter agreed to take on the whole project.”
The facility includes a five-
bedroom residential section alongside the main barn, which houses the large live room, a 48-channel SSL control room, drum booth, machine room and edit suite.
“The finish is superb
throughout the whole place,” says Terry. “Someone asked me if there was anything I would change about the new Vada,
Matt Terry with his 48-channel SSL at the new Vada Recording Studios
but after 17 years of working in studios I knew exactly what I didn’t want to see in a studio, so this is the culmination of all that experience. I wouldn’t
change anything about this place. Everything is just perfect as it is.”
