The owner, Lou Manarino, is a world-class musician, music teacher and sound and light contractor. He wanted to create a first rate performing arts school on Staten Island, something that previously had not existed. He commissioned Studio 16 Architecture to add a second floor to his existing contracting building, which was a one story, banal CMU builidng. The building is located in a transitional neighborhood that had seen better times, and Lou saw the potential in the area and was committed to building his new venture there.Studio 16 designed a new second floor that was perpendicular to the existing building to give it a street presence. The architect created a new stair tower to connect the old and new; the facade was inspired by the sheet music of a Beethiven piece, abstracting the notes on the staff and the staff itself. Blue tinted glass and blue gray EIFS cladding give the building a distinctive, modern look. The interior is filled with natural light. The facility has a dance/perfomance space, instruction rooms and offices. The first floor, which had housed the sound business, has been converted to a black box theater also designed by Studio 16.The building has spurred more activity and development in the neighborhood and has proved that the owner's committment to staying paid off. The facility and the owner have been recognized by many in the music and perfroming arts world of New York City and the business continues to grow.
