Studio Deewee is Glenn Sestig's Ghent home for the creative duo, musicians and producers David and Stephen. The building is a striking, minimalist black and white monolithic structure that combines music production and office facilities, as well as apartments for guests and protagonists DJ David and Stephen to stay overnight. The client's equipment and music needs were at the heart of the design.
The project includes a recording studio with ample storage space and striking monochrome soundboard walls, a library of approximately 55,000 12-inch and 17,000 7-inch vinyl records, a synthesizer space and a video room; The apartment and its rooftop terrace are located on the top floor.
While acoustic and mechanical requirements were key to the design, due to the technical nature of the project, its aesthetics were equally important. The work of the 1960s architecture firm Superstudio and Japanese architecture was a major influence, fusing an overall sense of minimalism with strong graphic design elements. The interior features crisp lines, dark, smoky mirrors and luxurious, sleek surfaces.
