looks like a nice design. i'm concerned about some of the wiring but otherwise it looks like you're making good progress.

please explain which wiring are you concerned about ? i will have a separate small distribution board only for the studio power for the equipment, the lighting circuit will remain on the circuit of the rest of the house thanks

it looked like you were wiring in a power strip in one of the photos instead of a proper outlet. depending on what you were trying to do, it might be valid but i figured i'd mention it. if i misinterpreted thats fine, good work!

thanks for pointing out ! but i did mansion in the blog that i am using a flexible conduit its a 3 core double sheeted 2.5mm flexible wire connected in a junction box which use to be an existing socket outlet transfered to the frame wall, the cable is inserted in a flexible conduit thats meets the British standard regulations, the reason why i used the flexible conduit, is that i need to be able to move the wall to fix the ac, don't worry I am backed up with the city and guilds certificate in electrical installation :wink:
