life. revisited.
Listening to my dad dream inside Sprig Studios is pretty amazing. Watching it coming to life in real time is even more so.
We’re right in the middle of build out again, this time with the end in sight. Lights getting ordered, flooring finishes being assigned, and new equipment getting ready for purchase.
One of the coolest little features about the new studio is something my father is particularly proud of: a set of Jefferson Stairs.
Invented by the late President Thomas Jefferson in order to conserve space, Sprig’s variation uses a central laminated beam with incremental steps on either side. The effect is a surprisingly natural climb into The Loft that overlooks the Control Room and Main Studio A.
Bob Brola and his son Mike have taken the lead on this and thrown their hearts into the project. While the final steps will be more elaborate and include galvanized piping throughout the architecture, yesterday’s mock-up had all of us climbing on it like boys on a jungle gym.
Boys will be boys.
