Sanctuary Studio
Designed in partnership with architect Bjarke Ingels and acoustic designer White Mark Ltd., The Sanctuary is situated along the Albany Marina. It provides an unmatched setting for artists to produce their best work.
At its base, the Sanctuary is a recording studio designed in response to the requirements of light and sound.
The striated volume appears like a rippled seashell made from parallel walls facing east and west to block the low incoming sun rays while opening up toward the Marina and the private garden. The undulating roof is made from tilted slabs, ensuring that there are no parallel surfaces between the floor and ceiling. The resultant elevation appears like parallel columns of light, like the digital display of an equalizer.
