An interior precedent for transforming industrial-grade materials like exposed brick and concrete beams into a luminous, highly functional dance rehearsal studio.
- What we like about this project
- Large ceiling light monitors cut directly through the heavy concrete structure to flood the floor below.

- Geometry
- Rectangular volume defined by heavy exposed concrete waffle or beam ceiling, brick perimeter walls, and full-length mirrored back wall.
- Structural guess
- Heavy concrete ceiling beams resting on masonry bearing walls.
- Spatial scale
- Generous single-volume studio scale accommodating several performing figures comfortably.
- Lighting
- Direct overhead daylight pouring through large ceiling cutouts, supplemented by linear fluorescent fixtures.
- Atmosphere
- Energetic and bright, charged with top-down natural light and reflective surfaces.
- Environmental context
- Interior dance studio space with overhead daylighting cutouts.
- Spatial experience
- Bright, top-lit rehearsal space opening up beneath large overhead skylights while mirrors visually double the room width.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating concrete ceiling beams match the rhythm of mirrored wall panels and ballet bar brackets.
