It may sound like an oxymoron, but it is really like that: designing a radio means knowing how to design silence. Recording studios must have impeccable soundproofing being able to isolate themselves from offices and common areas.

Designing soundproofed rooms is certainly a fundamental feature for any interior. Who better can offer a perfect design exercise if not the most listened radio in Italy?! The RTL studios in Cologno Monzese were the perfect opportunity to experiment and acquire the experience in soundproofing the rooms.

Starting of course from the recording studios which da also to deal with an aesthetic aspect. In fact, if the soundproofing materials are often very rough in their aesthetic performance, it is also true that in an extremely technical context such as a recording studio, no lack can be afforded. Here then the recording studio is based on a circular conformation, from whose pivot a false ceiling branches spread on. It incorporates the sound system and the spotlights. For the furnishings, it is certainly the cherry wood to return the right elegant imprint capable of minimizing the sense of alienation. The same wooden essence also recalls the choice of furnishings and sometimes of the office flooring.

The general setting of the common spaces is approaches to the brightness of the rooms, both through large windows, where possible, and through spot lighting. Achieving the maximum expression of brightness and contemporaneity is the piano bar with Corian counter.
