A Music School by Yoshimura Junzo
The Solfeggio School is a music school in a residential area northwest of Mejiro Station, designed by the architect Yoshimura Junzo for his wife, a violinist (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
The classrooms and stairs on the first and second floors are carefully finished, while the third-floor hall gains its ceiling height under a sloping roof that follows the height-setback rules, divided skilfully by horizontal windows (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
Why It Was Registered
The Agency registered it as a model of design, a valuable early work in Yoshimura Junzo's series of buildings for music.
What to Look For
Notice the sloping roof of the third-floor hall and the horizontal windows that divide the front (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
Visiting
It is owned by the Solfeggio School Foundation, and no official information on visiting was found.
