Piano House. Hefei University of Technology. Architecture. 2007.

The Piano House, or sometimes called the Piano Building, is located in Huainan City, Anhui Province, China. Made with almost entirely black and transparent glass, the building is deemed as one of the most romantic and beautiful buildings in China. Its design was a collaboration between the architectural students of the Hefei University of Technology with the Huaisan Fangkai Decoration Project in 2007, and was built as a commemoration of the city’s prosperity and to improve its economy. The piano and the violin are built on a true 50:1 scale, and is one of the largest to scale instruments in the world. Inside the Piano House are escalators and stairs to two concert halls, music practice rooms, event venues and guest lounge areas.
