From Gaunson House To Multiple Recording Spaces

At Ten87, we’ve always believed in creating more than just music studios—we’ve built a community for artists to thrive. Our journey started in 2014 at Gaunson House, and since then, we’ve expanded, providing high-spec recording spaces that cater to the evolving needs of modern musicians. Today, with 50 studios and over 150 artists calling Ten87 home, we continue to innovate, adapt, and support creativity in ways that make a difference.

Gaunson House – The Start of Ten87

Ten87 was born out of necessity. Back in 2014, affordable, high-quality studio spaces were scarce, and musicians lacked a true community where they could collaborate and grow. Gaunson House became our first hub—offering dedicated studio spaces that prioritized sound quality, accessibility, and, most importantly, a shared sense of purpose among creatives.

This early venture validated what we already knew: musicians don’t just need a place to record; they need an environment that inspires them. With this ethos in mind, we set out to expand and refine our offerings.

Markfield Road: A Flagship for the Future

As demand grew, so did our ambition. We knew we had to scale up while maintaining the same intimate, community-driven feel that made Gaunson House so special. Enter Markfield Road, our flagship complex in Tottenham, home to over 30 high-spec long-term studios and our unique day hire studios.

This space isn’t just about recording—it’s about fostering connections. From the on-site listening bar and restaurant to the partnerships we’ve built with industry leaders like Izotope, Roland, and Spitfire Audio, Markfield Road is more than a workspace; it’s a creative ecosystem.

Key Features of Markfield Road:

  • Air-con and anti-viral attenuated fresh air systems throughout
  • All-inclusive pricing (bills, internet, electricity, and business rates)
  • 300 mbps wi-fi for seamless workflow
  • Flexible lease terms tailored to your needs
  • 24/7 access and robust security (CCTV monitoring)
  • Exclusive discounts with top-tier music manufacturers

Whether you’re an independent producer or part of a larger creative team, Markfield Road offers a professional yet welcoming environment where your ideas can take shape.

 

High Cross: Elevating Studio Acoustics

With the success of Markfield Road, we set our sights on refining studio acoustics even further. High Cross, our latest Tottenham location, features 10 production studios built with our most advanced acoustic designs to date.

For artists who demand the highest levels of precision in their sound, High Cross delivers an unparalleled recording experience. Like all our locations, it maintains our all-inclusive, hassle-free model, allowing musicians to focus entirely on their craft.

Key Features of High Cross:

  • Cutting-edge acoustic design for superior sound quality
  • All-inclusive pricing with high-speed connectivity
  • Flexible lease terms for long-term creative stability
  • 24/7 access with security measures in place
  • Exclusive manufacturer partnerships to support your production needs
