The story
The story behind the work.
FAB Architects drew on the client's life in opera to design this small studio at the end of a carefully kept garden. The building borrows from the language of traditional opera theatres, their galleries, stage curtains and balconies, and pairs those references with high-quality modern materials.
The result is a genuinely multi-use room: part rehearsal studio, part office, part space for entertaining. The aim throughout was to bring joy, light and a playful edge to each of those uses.
