THE| S T U D I O
Art and music go hand and hand like bread and butter, Siskel and Ebert, Abbott and Costello.  Creating a comforting environment and space that is conducive to letting the imagination run wild and ideas flow freely is what we have designed in THE | S T U D I O.  The Studio is an art, music, and design center passionate about the arts and understands the health benefits of engaging in artistic endeavors.  “Through creative forms of self- expression, both young and old are able to benefit by living a healthier lifestyle.” (Rudzik-Shaw, 2012)   Everything is designed to enlighten your senses and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.  
    “The arts give us the creativity to express ourselves, while challenging our intellect.” – Dr Terry Bergeson, 

If for just a second you are able to feel like you have escaped from the problems and stress of everyday life, then our design objective has been achieved.  We enjoy creating whimsical, chic, contemporary spaces that inspire. Our designs are inspired by childhood, art and culture of big cities, old architecture, and the colors and textures seen in nature. 
“Design is really about creating a quality of life, and a beauty in that life that nourishes the soul, that makes life beautiful. That’s what all this is about, not just what’s in and what’s out.”
                -Albert Hadley

the BACH LOUNGE. . . .
A L O U N G E inspired by the love for Bach and classical music and the positive benefits studies have proven that it has on the brain. We have designed a contemporary twist to an old world feel. An inviting space that brings the outdoors in and over looks THE| S T U D I O'S garden. The lounge has a relax feel with 3 groupings of lounge seating and one huge family style farm table that sits 12. The lounge serves coffee, tea’s, fountain beverages, wine, champagne, along with some small plates, as well as cheese and fruit platters.

the  PIANO BAR. . . .
Is an extension of the Bach room.  Inspired by the love for Bach and classical music. This space is drenched in all white marble allowing nature and music to be the true focal point. 

 
the  PIANO BAR. . . .
Giant murals of Michelangelo’s “David” add a quirky contemporary touch as do the pop of yellow on the Herman Millers Eames molded plastic rocker chairs. To make this outdoor space functional year round, we needed to enclose it. We used 15’ custom designed windows that over look the grounds gardens and used a glass oval dome to close the ceiling from all the weathers elements.
