This 1,400 sq. ft. studio, built in 2018 for Grammy Award–winning drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Adam Box, was one of the earliest full-scale NILES design–build projects. After years of session and touring work, Adam had a clear vision for his own creative home—a space that combined comfort, vibe, and technical precision. Our team partnered closely with him through every phase of the design and build process to bring that vision to life. The studio features a full Control Room, a spacious Live Room, two amp isolation booths, and a large dedicated ISO booth engineered specifically for dry drum capture. Each room is fully wired for a complete live-tracking environment, enabling an entire band to plug in and record seamlessly. The Live Room is sonically open and collaborative, while the Control Room is fine-tuned for long stretches of creative focus and accurate monitoring. Aesthetic direction played a major role in this project. Natural stonework, warm wood details, and a comfortable, lived-in feel create a distinctive character throughout the space. Adam added many of his own finishing touches, giving the studio an unmistakable personal identity that reflects his style and musical approach. The result is a studio that delivers both atmosphere and performance—an inspiring hub for writing, tracking, mixing, and producing at the highest level.

When Smith Hanes Studio set out to bring a handwoven coastal warmth to the main dining room of Carmel restaurant in Atlanta's Buckhead Village, they chose a fleet of twenty of our large Fawn Pendants to define the space. Each Fawn pendant is handwoven from elephant grass by members of SWOPA, the Sirigu Women's Organization for Pottery and Art in northern Ghana. SWOPA's mission is to preserve traditional craft knowledge and pass weaving techniques down to the next generation of women in their community. The elephant grass grows along West African riverbanks, is harvested using traditional methods that allow it to regenerate naturally, and is sun-dried before weaving. Because each shade is woven by hand, every piece undulates slightly differently. Installed as a sweeping canopy across the dining room ceiling, the twenty pendants create an atmosphere that is at once intimate and expansive, the warm diffused glow of the natural fibre entirely in keeping with the coastal, handcrafted material story that Smith Hanes wove throughout the space. The pendants sit alongside a rattan-wrapped bar and custom fibre installations by local artisan Sonya Yong James. Interior design: Smith Hanes Studio, Atlanta Photography: Tim Lenz
