Music Studio inside former Berlin Power Station
Located in a former power plant at the Ohlauer Strasse, the Berlin studio is a valuable addition to Red Bulls global network of world-class recording studios. It provides sound recording and mixing facilities for emerging and established musicians. The new volume which houses a recording room, two mixing studios, a lounge and kitchenette, is faceted and asymmetrical, working in contrast to its 1920s industrial setting. In collaboration with Optimist Design, Nau2 conceived this unconventional copper-clad studio as a place of exchange and creation for music lovers.
The building shape reflects the musical atmosphere taking place inside the studio. In addition to the architectures unique visual qualities as a camera backdrop for music promotion, acoustics played a central role in the design. A generous triangular skylight brings natural light into the main recording room, creating a light and warm atmosphere. As a reference to the old electricity plant, the exterior is wrapped with thin copper bands, conveying a sense of power and energy.
