Music College Concept Design & ArchiCAD

Job ID: 40349706

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

​Project Title: Architectural Concept Design & ArchiCAD Modeling – Music College in Historical Context
​Project Overview
​I am looking for a talented freelance architect or designer to finalize an architectural project at the Schematic Design level. The project involves a Music College located in a historic Central European city, characterized by Baroque, two-story row houses. The site is a "through-plot" connecting two streets, situated directly opposite a synagogue.
​The goal is to develop a compelling, flow-oriented concept that emphasizes freedom, nature, and transparency, while respecting the historical urban fabric.
​Program Requirements (Approx. 600 m² Total)
​Residential (300 m²): A 4-story (G+3) "quiet" block featuring "capsule hotel" style student rooms to maximize space efficiency.
​Public/Social (200 m²): Located on the synagogue-facing street. Includes a 120 m² Music Café on the ground floor with a central void looking down into a basement-level performance space.
​Educational/Practice (100 m²): Practice rooms (10 m² and 20 m² sizes) and 3 flexible lecture halls on the upper floor that can be partitioned or left as an open, flowing space.
​Key Architectural Concepts
​Urban Integration: The surrounding historical buildings have a parapet height of approximately 10 meters. The ground floors of both new blocks should be roughly 4 meters high.
​The "Floating Roof": A signature roof motif should span the site, connecting the two separate blocks and providing a covered passage between the two streets.
​Spatial Philosophy: The design must prioritize the "flow of spaces," giving area back to nature and minimizing the obstruction of views. It should feel light and modern despite the dense historical surroundings.
​Scope of Work
​ArchiCAD Model: A clean, well-structured 3D model of the concept.
​Line Drawings: Floor plans, sections, and elevations at a schematic level.
​Conceptual Refinement: Enhancing the "floating" connection and the visual link between the café and the underground stage.
​Deliverables
​Native ArchiCAD file (.pln).
​PDF set of architectural line drawings.
​Basic 3D views/massing studies to demonstrate the concept.
​Ideal Candidate
​Proficient in ArchiCAD.
​Strong background in conceptual architectural design and urban contextualism.
​Experience with "infill" projects in historical European settings is a plus.
​Creative thinker who can balance "capsule" efficiency with "flowing" public spaces.
