Japan-based NI&Co created the ideal retreat home for piano players: the Piano House.
It's in a quiet residential area in Nagoya. The house is a 7 by 15-meter, purple-brick design that reassembles a shed. The interior is lined with timber and the house is soundproof, so you can play piano and compose masterpieces without any distractions. The house can fit a grand piano and an upright piano. There is also a small kitchen a bathroom so you can spend hours in the house without needing to leave.
The house is not equipped with a bed, but I suppose all the great music masters like Mozart and Bach prioritized their music more than their sleeping schedule. So who needs a bed when you’ve got a piano lover’s dream house?
