The Practice Room
Location: New York, New York
Construction Year: 2019
Type: Private Music School
Located in a former dive bar in Chelsea, this 900 sq ft private music school now houses three mini piano studios, a reception area, and a main performance space in the rear. Preserving the character of the original interior, the existing wood wall paneling was restored and paired with custom built-in furniture crafted from compressed wood. Each piano studio features a sliding barn door with an integrated glass panel, allowing parents to observe lessons when closed. When not in use, the doors remain open, concealing the glass and seamlessly connecting the space.
