studio vapore Turns Up the Color in its Music Classrooms

"The layout organizes classrooms along a shared corridor. Each room boasts dedicated practice rooms alone with perimeter; through glass partitions, staff can supervise students in both the common area and these more intimate performing spaces."

"Sound quality is paramount in a project tailored to music education, so studio vapore took special care to develop acoustic treatments in collaboration with acoustic engineers for everything from walls and ceilings to floors and built-in furnishings."

"Color, of course, forms another 'organizing layer,' according to studio vapore. Red, orange and yellow define the three different classrooms for the school's three age groups."

Wester Academy Beijing's music classrooms feature a vibrant design focused on layout, sound, and color. The 7,500-square-foot renovation includes classrooms organized along a shared corridor, with dedicated practice rooms visible through glass partitions.

Each classroom is uniquely colored in bright hues, serving as a way-finding device for different age groups. The design aims to inspire both students and faculty in their musical endeavors.
