How we transformed an old building to Point Blank Music School, a state of the art music school in London

When Point Blank Music School decided to expand its footprint in the vibrant district of Shoreditch, London, they sought an environment that would foster creativity and innovation in music production. The challenge was to create a space that was not only functional but also acoustically optimised for the diverse needs of their students. For this, they turned to Hush Soundproofing, a leader in comprehensive soundproofing solutions, and their architectural partner, Founded.

One and a half year project…

In April 2023, Hush Soundproofing was appointed by Founded, a team of architects based in London, to undertake the ambitious refurbishment and build of Point Blank Music School’s new three-story location in Shoreditch. This project demanded meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the internal build would enhance the learning experience for students.
