I would change one of the restrooms into your mechanical room, putting your water heater and furnace in there.

Carpet would help soak up some of the echo too. I think carpet is the way to go!

I know you don’t need or want other opinions, but that tile flooring is kind of ugly…maybe just do tile carpet throughout the entire space.

This building series is awesome!

Love seeing the progress. I'd highly recommend paying a bit extra for a tempered glass railing for the loft, at least in the center. The reason is two-fold. First, if you film up there and want the city visible in the background, your sight-lines will be blocked most of the time by an opaque shelving railing. Second, as the kids get older and more mobile, they'll be able to climb up shelves as of they're ladders and be able to crawl over the edge. I know you'll keep a close eye on them, especially with so much Lego around, but there's a reason all deck and playground railings have vertical rather than horizontal slats. It may even become a code issue. Keep up the amazing work. Setting up a studio is fun and a lot of work. (I'm a professional balloon artist and have a lot of experience making a safe studio where my kids can play alongside my work.)

Hey, I just have suggestion for the flooring. I would recommend cork flooring, which helps with the sound-proofing and also insulation. And it is also better than carpet when it comes to dust and hygiene as it is antimicrobial and hypoallergenic. Maybe worth a thought. Love the new space and content.

I like the carpet idea, I would double check for any storm/water leakage from the overhead door. I would also recommend a lift style system (attic lift?) from the mezzanine to the main floor. New sets and parts up and down and down and up can be quite a few trips on a staircase.

Happy to see progress on your new studio

This is exciting! Loving the updates. How about putting the furnace and other infrastructure into that 'bathroom to be storage room '? Great hiding spot and could still have room for some supplies.

Hello Bricksie, I'd suggest you asking your contractor about an epoxy system finish for your floor, todays technology gives you color and finish options as well as the option to add flakes to it. This kind of system would level and hide any imperfection in the concrete slab. I would stay away from carpet for this application. Also a lot easier to clean.

Iam absolutely in love with this format, seeing how the warehouse gets renovated is a blast to watch. I am very happy for you Bricksie.

bricksie is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.

I appriciate you update us daily, not only since you release videos daily.. but I mean with all your thoughts around it and also small changes you've been thinking on! Many people might not like to see all the small steps (progress bit by bit), but I really enjoy it and also give me motivation self to example paint a room, do bigger changes, and so on! Thank you! 😄👌

I would build a half wall in the big warehouse area to block off the view of the garage door, then that gives a secondary room for storage, etc. It also would make the room feel better, and you could customize, paint, add shelves, etc. You wouldn't be missing that space, it would only need to be a false wall roughly 6 feet away from the door. Then you wouldn't need to carpet that area, but could carpet the city space.

Carpet and covering up the back wall sounds great! I can totally see it becoming like a neat convention-ish exhibition space with upgrades like that!

Make sure that roll up door and back door have a good seal. Water is known to get under roll up doors and leak in underneath.

Rubber gym mats comes in grid patterns. Great for your feet, soaks up sound & its black lol.

So much usable space! great to see a bigger room up front. If you go with carpeting in the main area, I'd say make a 8-10 foot wide "foyer" with cheap laminate tile along the back wall. That way, if you ever do use the doors, you have tile that can be swept off & mopped along that whole back wall. If you ever back up a truck to load out Lego (you may want to do conventions later in life) you will have a buffer zone of tile to pull the rear tires onto. I actually think carpet will help with sound dampening. You can build DIY sound diffusers out of scrap lumber and hang them from the ceiling for acoustic treatment.

You may want to consider putting some reversible fans down the centre of the room to help push warmer air down in winter/draw it up in summer to manage costs long term.

Nice studio space, for the floor you could look at rubber mats that are used for gym floors that would be a lot easier on the joints.

Carpet in the main "warehouse" area will also help to reduce the echo. General rule of thumb, hard surfaces increase the sound reverberation and softer surfaces will help deaden it.

Carpet, definitely carpet, easier on the knees too 🤩 Maybe move the large air purifier so it isn't directly under the heater in case it ever drips/condensation etc

I’m super happy for you Jordan! If I can offer a suggestion for the garage door. They are typically not very well insulated, and they are NOT weather or wind sealed. Just the other day, ours at work had the cables vibrating and chain swaying on a windy day. Oh, and when it pours rain, with wind, it can come in. You’ll really want to insulate the edges to make your space comfy and dry. Perhaps a tiled area near the door, then carpet just incase. 🤔

Since you are getting radiant heating put in, it should be simple enough to extend it into the rooms in the back and just eliminate the smaller furnace next to the water heater, which would eliminate the ugly ductwork entirely. The wall demo was clean. The ceiling in that room has a textured ceiling which can be scraped off if you want a nice smooth look in that "Star Wars" room.

Great studio

Love it! So excited to see it all done and set up!

I love to see this progress. It is like behind the scenes. This is also a part of the journey. Can't wait until the next warehouse updat video.

Awesome stuff. This is going to be absolutely epic... Oh wow loads of room...

Love the carpet idea, basically the vibe should be a giant play room where everybody would love to hang out and therefore love to watch on video!

Did you give any thought about relocating the furnace and water heater above the wash room? Walling it all upstairs and extending the pony wall off it. That way those two appliances are off main floor and out of sight. Would also give you a little more room on the floor. From the Video all your line go up so it should be hard to relocate. You can run your air line then in your pony wall and feed them into rooms from the ceiling. Just a thought

The warehouse is looking good!

Really looking forward to seeing it all set up 🔥👍

So amazing watching your dreams flourish! Wonderful job Bricksie!

Congrats on the warehouse! I’m excited for this project as I watched you transform the basement into a dream space. That room looks better without the wall, great call! Don’t apologize for not posting Lego content during this time! I’m personally looking forward to watching this series on the warehouse over Lego content!

First of all! Congratulations on the new space! It’s awesome. Second of all, I own a sign and print shop in Indiana, my suggestion would be to find a local sign shop to help you with the possible sky banners and back wall curtains. Also have them printed on canvas as it won’t reflect light as much as a vinyl banner. I would offer my services but logistics would probably get in the way. Good luck man! I will be watching and keep up the great content. Best LEGO city on the internet imo!

Excited for you dude! i love seeing how things start and you have another fresh start! can't wait to see how it all comes together

If it were my space, I would run carpet squares in the entire warehouse, which will really help cut down on the noise. Just inside of the overhead door, I would box off an area about 3 feet in and use an epoxy paint there just in case you get leaks or water in from a heavy storm that comes under the overhead door, you would not have to worry about the carpet getting wet.

Great Warehouse. Love the space, but you could also replace the flooring throughout the whole space to make it cohesive and not look so much like a warehouse. Another cool thing you could do is paint the walls like clouds to not only repaint the walls but make it look like actual clouds that would be more neat

Such an awesome space. I’m excited to watch the transformation. I really like the ceiling in the big bay area. I think that looks really neat

This is awesome! Congrats! I have a suggestion (feel free to dismiss it!): how about having the pony wall over the washroom being glass? So you can sit down there or have your desk there and have an unobstructed view of the city.

Que diferencia hace ver el nuevo estudio por la noche que con luz, se ve incluso mas grande!!! Me encantan estos videos 😊

Also quick tip get some flooring or some wood over the top as it may be softer and you not on the old floor

While it stinks that you’re LAN is on probation until summer, it gives you time to really focus on the new warehouse and pour all your effort into that project.

Love watching the progress!

This must be a very exciting time for you, and us as well being we get to watch you expand in such a big way! I know you are still in the early stages of construction and development, but an option to reduce echo is to hang large moving mats along the tops of your walls. It's kind of a quick and dirty solution but is relatively affordable and I've seen it used in another KZfaqrs warehouse space. The thing is, even if you populate the ground area with furniture, Lego, etc, having such a high ceiling will be difficult and costly to treat properly. Just a suggestion.

Carpet is a good idea. And that room is huge now, wow! Love your vision for the studio - I can see it!

Jordan, I am so excited for you…this is so cool and I am so happy you are sharing your journey with me and the world!!!

Love hearing the ideas and I’m sure most of us are super excited to see the process! It’s very interesting hearing about the buying and renovation process.

So awesome. What a great space

One tip on the city area, the carpet tiles would dampen sound and echos. It would also be slightly insulating for warmth in the winter.

Very cool. If you're buying flooring, I'd consider those rubber tiles that they have in ice rinks. Gives you some 'bounce' for your feet but it's a lot easier to clean than carpet.

Yes! I'm all for bringing back the Bricksie wall or something similar. I think a massive Brickie logo for your studio and future videos would be great!

You could keep the benefits of a loading bay, and just stud partition off the back of the warehouse; with a few central pillars you can have a plasterboard roof. You need the warehouse's length, but the height is only useable to a point, and a space that size will cost a fortune to heat. I'd forget the upstairs part, and stud-out a huge office type space within the warehouse, which can have an insulated roof; either kingspan or insulation rolls. Essentially, a huge stud building within a building, with a door at the back to the roller doors and loading bay. When it's finished, to your viewers it'll just seem like a massive office; not the inside of an old warehouse. That's probably the same cost as decorationg, with a better end result; and your energy costs will be much lower.

This is so awesome! I'm so happy that this is happening! You've worked so hard. I like a lot of the features and changes you have discussed. Can't wait for the chabges!

Looks and sounds amazing, all the best to you! Excited to see what comes next

The shop garage door will be awesome on days are nice to let fresh air in. Take your time and do it right so you can focus on Lego later.

Great progress loving the updates

Super excited can’t wait I LOVE Lego tours and updates 🎉

You could turn it into 1 huge room, it would have exposed load bearing posts and beams but I'm sure the posts could be lego rendered to make them features 🤔 Vinyl floorboards would probably look tidier and more uniformed plus keep it a little warmer in winter. A suggestion for the roller door, why not make it look like a giant 2x2 lego logo tile? Get a vinyl sign writer put a lego logo sticker across the whole roller door.

Love the idea of the carpet...

Used Costco carpet tiles in our basement. Super easy to install and work awesome!

I would convert the back of the warehouse with a wall and a shipping area. I know you'd lose some floor space, but you could minimize the heat loss from the door and have the shipping company come around back to prevent them from seeing the collection.

So much room . So many options. Awesome

Nice to see your channel trying out a whole new kind of building!

I love the new space and I am so excited to see what you'll do to it to Bricksiefy it. 😊 my ine suggestion is to hire a company that can put a floor epoxy on top of the concrete and then from there, put in area carpets or maybe floor mats if they nake them large enough to ease the pain on your knees, etc.

Mate! I’m so excited for this! Construction and Lego combined how amazing is this going to be! Can’t wait to see your progress, good luck form across the pond x

You have some great ideas. Enjoyed last video and this one. So happy you your dream is coming along.

You should put all the makeover videos in their own playlist :D Its like a show of its own. Love watching this kind of thing :)

A wall down already! Fast work. I liked the carpet tile and curtain ideas. You know, that might even help with the acoustics and reduce the echoing. Also, you'll be able to choose colours that you like and work well with your city. I'm loving these vlogs. Don't worry about the absence of Lego. Seeing this journey is really interesting. I'm so glad we get to be part of it

Really enjoying watching the thought process and how much the studio is going to change.

nice progress on the studio. it wood be nice if you made the stairs have lego on each step like in the basment at the old place now. keep up the great work 👍👌

Garage floor epoxy shield, you can get it from Canadian tire or Costco, super easy to do yourself and paint on and really makes the floors look great.

Who else is living vicariously through Bricksie? This way I get to go big AND stay home. Wishing you the best. I respect your risk tolerance & vision!

If you really need to hide the rolling door and back door, you could frame it out and have it in its own small "outer" room. Yes, it would cut into the space for the city, but it would entirely remove the problem of that showing up in any videos (and might have insulation benefits as well).

I would not put carpet on the floor of the loft because you'll have a chair that needs to roll around from desk to desk which is very difficult on carpet. It's also easier to find and hear where small pieces go if dropped. You also might find exercise puzzle mats more comfortable on your feet and knees than carpet in the main city area

What a difference with taking wall down. Carpets sound good as it will remove any echo in lego city. I'm as excited as you re changes taking place, cannot wait to follow more progress.

Great work I love your ideas for the new lego room🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I think carpet is the ticket.. if your worried about the area in front of the bay door you could always leave 10' or so in front of the man door and bay door concrete. Gives you the option of backing a vehicle in if you ever wanted to load up and tranfer a large lego moc.

With the carpet by the roller door, I'd make sure that seal it good otherwise you may get some water coming thru. Excited to see when it all comes together

Please bring us throughout the entire journey! Not Much Lego but so much awesomeness!!

Looking good can't wait for the city👍

You should use the bathroom labelled male currently to be a furnace room, that way only close of end of mezzanine, loose no space downstairs, hide mechanical objects then furnish your other room as washroom as planned. It already has water and electrical access in it so no heavy infrastructure and is parallel to existing heating infrastructure

Carpeting the large area will also help remove some of the echo. So excited for you in this new space!!!

Agree with putting carpet in the warehouse. Will help with the echo and dust situation. Plus it will take away from the "warehouse" look and make it look like a studio. I know it's a lot of cost, but it cheaper and easier to do it now than later when you have a warehouse full of stuff to navigate around. Just make sure you have someone check the rolling door. Not sure your situation behind the building, but rolling doors are notorious for leaking and not weather proof. If it rains up against it, it usually leaks and with carpet, that's going to be an issue. Your also going to lose a lot of heat through that door, so maybe replacing weather seals and some insulation would help in the long run with costs. Personally, I think you should do glass panels on the mezzanine for your railing. I think putting shelving in is going to take away from the aesthetics. Put they are probably a bit pricy...just a thought... I would carpet the whole place. Your front area is not very large so the cost would be minimal and it would look so much better. Plus shelving tends to wobble on tiles like that. Super excited for the new journey your on. Good luck!

Living our dreams, congrats on this new studio space 🎉

A idea for the bay door. Get somebody to paint a city skyline or a landscape

You should polish and paint the tiles white, it would look so clean with the white walls and potential lighting. Such awesome progress!!

For the tables, if you could have tracks on the floor and the tables have wheels you could just slide the tables to the side to work on something in the middle of the city, no need to have access points and crawling in.

Definitely would suggest looking into acoustic wall panels or drop from the ceiling acoustic panels .

You should get some sounds baffles for the large room. Even carpets would help.

You should take out as much of that wall in between the 2 rooms and create an island effect and be able to see all sets

Enough room in that warehouse unit to have a double level city in place. Could easily build up.

So exciting! Super stoked for you and Mrs brixie

The curtain you put on the wall to hide the roller door could be used for sponsors like a giant advert so that when your filming it gets seen

make sure you got your building permits. Even non-loading bearing walls need a permit.

Research what carpet padding you want underneath the carpet, the right choice makes all the difference to your knees.

I can already see Bricksie buying one of those Toys r Us hanging roof sign and putting it above the city.

It looks like the warehouse is tall enough that your cloud curtain could include stratosphere and outer space so you can hang space stations, rockets, spaceships etc over your new Lego world.

Carpet tile the back area over the tiles on the floor.. and upper flooring

You should consider painting a background of a city on the walls or potentially a mural.
