Vincent Van Hoff Leading Studio Designer

Watching LX-TV Open House on Channel 4 NBC, Los Angeles.

Vincent Van Hoff was interviewed for a segment on home studios and Gilby Clark from Guns’N’Roses was interviewed regarding his personal home studio.

Of course these are very high end homes, but the basic principals of studio design apply.

Interesting, that yesterday I was at the GreenTech Expo and there was a company that manufactures insulation made from 85% post consumer waste, mostly jeans material, this material has been used in several noted theatres because of the insulating properties of this material.

Hothouse Studios in Santa Fe Springs has built a new studio design with the latest acoustic concepts. To see their latest studio call 562.945.1300. This will bring the total studios to five.
