The Violin House project was designed to meet the need for commercial and public space that creates engagement and celebrates the arts. The design includes a high-rise commercial building for office spaces with an auditorium, art gallery, community center, offices, restaurants, and cafes. The large spaces allow for creativity in use and function and are inviting.

The office spaces have also been designed with the aim of creating collaborative, engaging spaces that meet the needs of modern working environments. This was done by ensuring there are spaces and facilities for employers and employees to enjoy.

To create further engagement, the design includes a museum that showcases instruments from around the world, with a focus on music history and modern music artists.

The design was developed in two stages to ensure the brief was met:
Stage one: Master planning and concept design, including site planning, massing study, shadow analysis, basement parking and services, ground floor activities, an auditorium, and public space on ground level.
Stage two: Design and development of the high-rise commercial space.

The Violin House is novel as there is no other building like it. The design is unique because of its shape and facilities, including the auditorium for concerts and the museum, which celebrates music and the arts. It creates a new and unique way of bringing music to the community, inspired by the form and beauty of the violin.

The violin concept is inspired by my father's love for music; who played the violin in his hometown for 50 years and warmed the hearts of his fellow citizens. As the violin is a recognized and loved instrument, it is a talking point and instantly invites people to enter a world of art and music. The auditorium is a space for concerts, and the museum celebrates the past and present worlds of music. Cafes and commercial office spaces create a lively environment where people can enjoy, eat, work, and celebrate the arts.
