We are excited to share that construction of the new Wondersmith Studio and HQ is in progress! Please keep track here and on Instagram.

A 200 year old post and beam barn, on 1.8 acres of green sits near Acton Historic Center, minutes from Route 2 and Concord and 25 minutes to Cambridge. The barn features natural light with a panoramic view of the outdoors, antique heart pine flooring and chestnut beams, and 20’ to the peak of the ceiling. The newly constructed addition features 2 iso spaces, kitchenette, bathroom, and storage/lounge area. The hay loft is being retained - for overdubbing synth solos, or placing room mics... Total space is about 1,150 sq ft, and the design is an open concept tracking/mixing environment. Woodcat Construction is our fantastic design/builder and acoustic oversight is by Matt Azevedo and Acentech. It’s going to be FANTASTIC! Stay tuned!! [Photos chronological bottom to top]
