‘The composition of wood, natural stone, and woven yarn creates a soft, warm and restful environment to experience the joy of music.’

Lullula is a studio for voice, music, and education situated in a former 120 year old pharmacy in the heart of Charlottenburg, Berlin.

Sand coloured walls serve as a neutral backdrop for the glossy black C. Bechstein grand piano, which takes centre stage in the front classroom. Along the main wall, three full-length custom-made mirrors backed with solid oak resemble an arcade, bouncing light around the space and playing with the scale of the room. 

As a nod to the original floor tiles in the bathroom, a large trough style enamel basin becomes the focal point when set against the new half-height wall panelling and topped with a natural stone shelf. The soft curves of the sink are echoed in the custom-made oak mirror that adds a contemporary touch to the room.

‘Heavily woven linen floor to ceiling curtains quieten the space both aesthetically and acoustically, whilst natural linen sheers provide privacy from the outside world’

The floor plan is open and flexible to allow for an easy transition between group classes, private lessons, workshops, and a curated calendar of events on weekends and evenings. The emphasis on natural materials and muted tones resonates throughout the project: from floor and wall coverings right down to the selected handcrafted furnishings.

‘Our aim was to create a peaceful space with hues that soothe and comfort and provide a sense of tranquility conducive to learning.’
