The Music Box

Hello, my name is Charlie Ashley, and I am a junior at Casco Bay High School. For my Music Studio project, I used Tinkercad to envision a sort of trailer park of Music Studios where people can come to rent out rooms to play and record their music, with some equipment provided.

• 20ft by 8ft shipping container
• Insulation
• Acoustic Panels
• 2x 8ft by 9.5ft wood boards
• 3x doors
• 1x 80" by 36" glass door
• 2x 80" by 36" wooden doors
• 1x Drumset
• 1x Acoustic guitar
• 1x Electric bass guitar
• 1x Saxophone
• 1x Electric keyboard
• 2x Stools
• 1x Table
• 1x Computer
• 2x Amps
• 3x Microphones

For each separate shipping container, there are two available rooms to play in. One room, accessed through the door, is the larger of the two, which larger groups likes bands can play in. The smaller room is targetted towards groups of one or two people, who don't need as much space. Connecting the two rooms is the smallest room, with a computer and gadgets to produce and export the recordings.

For the equipment for my project, I decided to mostly just go with the basics. A guitar, a bass guitar, a keyboard, a drumset, and microphones. The essentials for a traditional rock band. I decided to put a saxophone in there too, just for the fun of it, because who knows who might show up? There is also a computer and seating for when you want to export and produce your recordings after your session.

For the exterior, I decided to go somewhat simple. I didnt need to add any outdoor station because of noise control, so i just added some art in the form of a guitar cutout, and fake keyboards as a door frame. I made the colortheme black and white to signify the keys of a piano. There is only 1 standard door to exit from, but each end of the container has an large opening in case of fire, or to move equipment in and out of the crate.

For the interior, I decided to first add the larger instruments to the big room, so there could be space. In the room connecting the two studios, there is a computer and seating, and in the smaller room there are smaller and fewer instruments, as its a smaller room for less people to perform in.
