Another inspiring studio finished by the Miloco Builds team, this one for legendary band Coldplay.
Producer Dan Green initially got in touch in early 2021 to discuss some renovations to their Beehive studio, a large space the band had been using for writing but with very basic treatment and a floor that needed replacing. They wanted to create some booths, but keep the main space as a huge creative control room. Once the initial strip out had begun, it was clear that to properly float a new concrete slab some extensive building work would be needed, so the brief grew substantially.
What we’ve achieved speaks for itself. The natural light and cantilevered treatment is reminiscent of the scheme at The Church, although the warm tones in the flooring and fabric give the space a homely feel with a nod to the futuristic. The audio install was completed by our team with absolutely zero compromises - point to point and with the best pres to be found anywhere.
Throughout the rest of the building a similar design philosophy meant opening out smaller rooms, moving the bathrooms and storage to the basement to create a second studio on the second floor with views across London. It’s a studio designed by engineers for engineers, and we are very proud to be part of this milestone in the band’s history.
Of the project, Dan says:
“Miloco have been a pleasure to work with and were able to complete the project to a very tight deadline. There was great communication throughout, from the acoustic design, connectivity to the lighting and everything in between they have had the greatest attention to detail… Pete and the team have created and delivered the most inspiring creative space that I have ever worked in.”

@coldplay Hi Jonny! You’ve been a massive inspiration for me as a guitarist ❤️ Do you have a certain guitar part you’re particularly proud of? Or one that took direct inspiration from another player? 🎸
@coldplay Hi Guy and Will! Hope you’re enjoying the tour 🤍 My question for you both is do you have any particular favourite memories of the writing/recording process of an album? I’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall during those experimental Viva sessions 😋💜
