Congratulations to our design team for winning the A&D Trophy Award 2016 with Private Music Studio.
The project employs a unit in an industrial building as a private music studio and personal storage of the antiques and curios of the family collection. The design maximises the horizontality of space while allowing the flexible use of space to create a proportional space for the best possible acoustic outcome. Taking advantage of the double-height and thick concrete floor slab in an industrial building, the cost-effective design utilizes a double envelope of interlocking spaces. This double box approach features an enclosure within the already existing structure to methodically organize the ‘served’ and ‘service’ spaces. The “Outer Box”, which is mainly functional and conceals all services, provides all necessary fixed program for the served space – the “Inner Box” - allowing the latter to remain open and flexible for any desired activity.
