Councillors will decide if a disused toilet block can be converted into a flower shop and underground recording studio.
Mick Lowe, 47, of Pavilion Property, is hoping to transform the dilapidated Victorian building in Brighton Marina and indulge his love of music at the same time.
Brighton and Hove city councillors will consider the application, recommended for approval, at a planning meeting next Wednesday.
Above ground the gazebo-style building would be covered with bouquets of flowers. A space suitable for a rockstar would be created beneath the streets with soundproofing to ensure visitors to the marina are not disturbed.
Mr Lowe bought the building from X-Leisure and is planning to rent the studio out to bands who want to record CDs or rehearse.
Mr Lowe said: "It is something I have always wanted to do and it will be different to everything else in the marina."
