Studio Design & Construction: The Makers Lab Expansion Proposal

Julio developed the expansion proposal for The Makers Lab, designing a full-service production and post-production facility to scale with evolving creative and operational needs. The proposal detailed a ground and second floor buildout with dedicated spaces for editorial, audio, graphics, VFX, CGI, and finishing, along with client-facing areas to support collaboration.

The design included two audio suites with a whisper booth, three editorial suites, a color suite, and a main editorial room on the ground floor. The second floor introduced a server room, post-production offices, a large conference room, and communal areas including a kitchen and client lounge. All spaces were laid out to maintain technical specifications for editorial, color, and sound, GTI-standard N5 gray walls, 6500K CRI 90+ lighting, broadcast and client monitors routed through Blackmagic systems, and acoustically treated audio rooms for recording and mixing.

The proposal also accounted for hybrid workflows supported by a centralized server room for secure data management.
