Graybox is a 950 sq. ft. studio environment designed and built by NILES to redefine what a home-based creative space can be. The client wanted a light-filled, timeless studio that balanced aesthetic warmth with the precision and durability of a commercial facility. Our team handled the full scope—from architectural acoustics and mechanical planning to framing, treatments, electrical distribution, and final integration. The Control Room is a compact, golden-ratio mix suite engineered for accuracy, featuring a finely tuned treatment plan and a Barefoot monitor system. The Live Room gains surprising scale from its 16’ ceiling, delivering sonic depth and natural ambience ideal for full-band tracking, ensemble sessions, or detailed acoustic work. Expansive glass and natural light shape the visual character of the studio while maintaining controlled isolation and proper acoustic performance. This space was built to function as a dual-purpose creative hub for music recording and video production. The open layout supports multi-camera film shoots, quick-turn content capture, and flexible session flow. Engineers, producers, and artists can walk in, sit down, and work immediately thanks to intuitive wiring paths, plug-and-play audio infrastructure, and a layout designed for seamless movement between rooms. Graybox has become a go-to destination for both recording and visual content, hosting sessions and video work for Capitol Records, Meinl Cymbals, The Dove Awards, Gibson, and many others. The result is a studio that feels as inspiring as it sounds—purpose-built, timeless, and engineered for long-term creative use.

The ladies powder room is the perfect place to freshen up after a swim or session in the exercise room. The custom wall treatment adds drama the this smaller space while also setting the tone for the color scheme. A quartzite counter at the vanity imparts the elegance of marble but with a much more durable surface. An expansive wall-to-wall mirror at the vanity helps the room to feel more spacious and also provides a glimpse of the adjacent vanity and the beautiful artwork selected for the space.

Contemporary rustic open floor plan kitchen/ living area idea.
Inspiration for a transitional galley dark wood floor and brown floor kitchen remodel in Nashville with shaker cabinets, white cabinets, stainless steel appliances, an island and white countertops

The reading nook, one step down, in the master bedroom provides an escape while putting you right in the garden just outside the windows. The clever drapery treatment on a ceiling track allows control of the lighting from the rest of the bedroom for those late-night reading sessions without disturbing the sleeper nearby. The textures of the stone, tile, wood and grass cloth along with the pillows, fabrics, trims, and accents creates an interesting backdrop for the lighting, art and furnishings.

This little guy was VERY interested in helping out with our photo session. He was too cute not to share.

Entry Console in French Country inspired furnishings project. Project scope included selecting new flooring and refurnishing the entry, living room, and dining room of this family home. The client's heirloom dining set and some existing art and accessories was inspiration for the French Country influence. This budget friendly furnishings project needed to include a pull-out sofa for overnight guests, and curtains for light control when used for sleeping, plenty of seating for hosting gatherings, and storage for some supplies and instruments for family jam sessions.

A client's living room needed a refresher and so we did just that! The project started with a major re-org session of excess toys and new homes were created for them. Next, rearrange existing furniture and order new pieces. Lastly, style the space with all of the pieces, including the built-in cabinetry so that it all looks sharp and cohesive.

Tip: StanbyME’s flexible screen adjusts perfectly to my posture as I shift between lounging, sitting upright, or reclining. This adaptability makes it ideal for long movie sessions, offering constant comfort as I recover and relax, ensuring that I’m always viewing at the perfect angle. For this project, I wanted to create my own special indoor forest sanctuary. The natural elements like the exposed brick and wood ceiling blend seamlessly with the open space around the lounge chair, allowing the room to feel airy and serene. With the addition of cascading greenery, the space feels like a tranquil escape into nature, offering the perfect balance between outdoor charm and cozy indoor relaxation.
