Ropekeepers

Slightly wider than its adjoining studio, at 14.8m by 8.8m. Ropekeepers Studio is a well-proportioned, dual-aspect space. Stonecutters and Ropekeepers studio can be one large space of 35 metres long – perfect for performances and private events. The studios are separated by a modern acoustic partition. The area above the partition is glazed up to the timber roof lining, which reflects the finish of the resilient studio floor. With a high, vaulted ceiling supported by original timber roof trusses, the space feels exceptionally generous. The rest of the walls are exposed brick, puncuated by mirrors, oak ballet barres and original timber sash windows. The space is lit by glass factory lights, with technical power and facilities panels at either end. A PA system suitable for playback and light speech use is permanently installed in the room, which also includes an upright acoustic piano.
