How high is the ceiling to the hard shell? Was the whole build contracted out or did you do some of it yourself?
An interesting build. Straight forward, no gimmicks, but careful attention to the details goes a long way.
Thanks for the photos!

Hey Nathan,
It's a concrete shelled commercial building just off the beaten path of downtown Clearwater, FL.
We have a park across the street one way, and other quiet businesses nearby, but not TOO near. Train tracks about 1.5 blocks away with no measurable vibrations whatsoever.
The building is 6000 sq foot one story with a interior height of 12'. The finished ceiling is lower due to spring isolator grid system.
The slab is a terrazzo on concrete 6" in total.
On the contracting side, we did contract out initially, however, I ended up wearing that hat once we got heavy into the project. I also knew that it would be in better hands if I were to personally "make sure" every little detail is done right since I'll be dealing with this place for the rest of my life.
Without getting into details, we did the electrical system the way it should be done in a studio, not to mention a lightning and surge protection system.
Thanks to you and everyone for checkout out our studio thread! I'm glad to show it as I know how much fun it is to build a studio AND to see one be built!
Mike
