To better integrate music into their lives, this couple opted to add a piano studio onto their existing residence. The studio is free standing and well-insulated to ensure that the noise does not impact the rest of the house. Its adjacency to the outdoor gathering space makes for a wonderful transition, where the music can enliven a gathering while still being protected from weather. Large windows allow natural light to penetrate the space and enhance the connection to the outdoors.

This project was featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune Coastal San Diego Hones supplement (June 2011).
