A dance room large enough for exercising, yoga, dance and theatre rehearsals, visual or performative art classes or lectures and presentations. Can be used as a visual art studio as well. A library, can be used as a workroom or a meeting/conference room for up to twenty five people; a basic office and a study or reading room. Also there is a large main room with a stage equipted with an acoustic piano and an old set of drums.
The architecture has been created by Camille Shafer, using harvested or reused materials with traditional techniques. With the help of many others the place has been - and still is - shaped into a work of art. AZULE is meant to be a permanent work-in-progress, comfort and amenities are getting better. Plan to be amazed but do not expect luxury. Every floor is basically - if not always comfortably - accessible.
