A high-end destination studio geared to accommodate a wide range of theatrical, feature film and music recording projects, World Harmony Studios is owned by producer/ businessman Samuel Nappi. Set on a 300-acre horse farm overlooking the Adirondack Tug Hill plateau, the 2500 sq. ft. complex was designed by architect/acoustician/WSDG co-principal John Storyk,
World Harmony Studios is built into a 3-story, 4500 sq. ft. redwood lodge/guest house, the 2500 sq. ft. complex includes a custom-built 700 sq. ft. live/screening room, a 300 sq. ft. control room; 120 and 220 sq. ft. iso rooms, and a lounge.
