It has a small recording studio on the upper level and a jam room in the basement, which can be occupied temporarily by musicians & independent artists of the industry for music making.
design
A bespoke concierge table made in a bright yellow Jaisalmer stone greets you at the entrance of this 13 feet tall lounge on the ground floor. A symphony of coloured stucco walls highlights the offices and meeting rooms. These are softened by large panes of fluted glass, held together by matte black, slim-line metal partition systems.
The floor of the waiting lounge is raised in matte black mosaic tiles, offset by an olive green wall with fuchsia highlights. The rest of the floor is a classic black and white tile with a cast in-situ terrazzo, separating the office from the lounge. A winding staircase, laid in a combination of shotblasted and polished basalt with brass inlay highlights, takes you one level up to the private lounge & recording studio and down to the jam room in the basement.
