Maybe I should leave it as such? The premises are to contain offices and residences plus services and reception. There's no mention of music ...

greenhouse / conservatory


Explanation:
I would say this is what it is...it's what we also use in Spain :)

A conservatory is a room having glass roof and walls, typically attached to a house on only one side, used as a greenhouse or a sunroom. Conservatories originated in the 16th century when wealthy landowners sought to cultivate citrus fruits such as lemons and oranges that began to appear on their dinner tables brought by traders from warmer regions of the Mediterranean.

Also called in French "jardin d'hiver"
