Panagraph Studios
A room for two people to write music in, designed and built from bare walls.
Panagraph is a writing and production room, built for two people working closely over long hours. Everything in it answers to that. The room is small on purpose, and the whole design question was how to make a small room sound generous and feel like somewhere you want to stay past midnight.
It began as a shell. Every wall was prepared from scratch, large acoustic walls were framed out and treated, a drop ceiling was built and raised to reclaim the height it took, and new flooring went down beneath all of it. The acoustics were tuned in the room rather than on paper, adjusted until the balance held at the two positions that matter.
The aesthetic was dialled in for late-night synth sessions. Slat walls run with custom LED strips set low and warm, a hand-woven rug imported from Afghanistan grounds the floor, and Italian black leather carries the seating. The finished room is moody by design, quiet by construction, and the clearest statement of how this studio thinks about space.
The build
Shell to slats, in sequence
What the room shows you is white oak, warm light and instruments within reach. The absorption is an inch behind all of it, packed into framed walls that disappear under a slat rhythm worked out to read as one surface. The lighting runs in the channels between, so the glow comes from the wall rather than from a fixture on it, and the synths mount straight onto the same structure.
