04 HOME FOLEY STUDIO
Specialised Recording Studio | ARC410 Project | 81.78 sqm
ROLES - SD, DD, BIM/Revit
The brief was to provide befitting acoustic solutions to different hypothetical contexts. I was to form my own narrative around the context of a recording studio. The aim of this project was to assess a basic understanding of sound intelligibily, as well as focusing on other areas such as aesthetics.
This is a framework design for a foley studio at the home of an intermediate level animator. The space comprises of foley pits, stage, a control room, storage spaces as well as adequate space for the client to add more props over time.
The aim of the design is to create a framework that the client can modify as a project demands and his expertise increases. The design also provides ample storage for props to prevent the general clutter often attributed to foley studios as the client has a penchant for orderliness.

A Foley artist is a person who re-creatses sounds for films, videos, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality. They replace sounds that cannot be properly recorded on set.
Foley studios have viewing screens and props, as well as recording equipment to record sounds as they watch the film. These sounds include anything from the swishing of clothes, breaking of glass and footsteps.
The 6m by 12.5m space is covered with acoustic wall panels and have acoustic ceiling tiles. The space is divided into two unequal parts of 21% and 79% with the smaller part serving as the control room and the larger part as the Foley stage. The foley stage consists of 16 foley pits, ceiling hanging microphones and a large projector screen that unfolds from the ceiling, cupboards with covered with acoustic panels for storage, a tub for water, a table and a host of other props.
The Foley artists watch the film, projected on a stage against one wall, while making the sound effects with their hands and feet and an assortment of mechanical gadgets and props.
A typical Foley stage consists of a deadroom with walls and ceiling covered in broadband absorption and a hard-surface floor having multiple pits in which different walking surface materials are contained.
