2024 MUSE DESIGN AWARDS | 穹音 | Gold Winner

Walking down a foreign street, you might want to see some unexpected scenes. Wandering through the street corner, a grunge brick wall and blinking letter lights pop into eyes, and the green ivy plants vibrantly fall from the wall. Alongside the string music, street graffiti art features a by-place that appeals to seek.

As the business owner hoped to create an unrestrained teaching venue, we provided him with innovative ideas and cutting-edge designs. Applying decorative wall treatments, exposed bricks, and green plants, we amazingly implement stylish grunge aesthetics with street graffiti integrated. Exceptionally, we made a metallic wall sign behind the counter phrasing the founder’s motto and business philosophy-“Heaven is all around; Translated to sound.” quoting from Michael Hedges, an American acoustic guitarist and songwriter. Let the bold passion for music last to the next generations.

A grunge style and street art inspired our dominant concept. In a vintage vibe, marquee letter lights and green ivy plants on an exposed brick wall compellingly compose a focal point. We painted the right classroom wall with street graffiti and decorative treatment, which remains brush marks and scratches to achieve unrestrained creativity. In addition, we adopt ceiling lights to reduce the visual mass as wall scones convey the image of street lamps that complement more lighting details. Furthermore, a vanity made of a fuel pump nozzle and a tire adds a touch of interest and extends the primary style.

In terms of an unusual U-shaped floor plan, we arranged a guitar showcase wall, a reception counter, a kitchenette, and a bathroom on the left of the hallway as a spacious teaching venue on the right. Besides, in the use for music classrooms, we installed door brush seals and soundproofing foam inside partition walls to block noise entirely. Additionally, the 1st Floor is equipped with a repair counter and a large dry cabinet to facilitate musical instrument sales and side services. A functional waiting lounge with bench seating and a bar counter allows the parents to rest during classes.
