Our client, an artist, asked us to design a studio, full of natural
light, to be built at the end of her garden.
Having recently completed a two-storey addition to the main house,
we wished the studio to continue the sculptural language of this form
to complete the spatial arrangement of volumes in the garden.

Modest in size, the studio's massing is determined by the existing
small outbuilding and the geometry of the garden. It is a tall space
with a large central roof-light under which the artist works. In order
to animate the space further, a shaft of south light is directed into
the studio through a deep recess over the entrance. A picture window
at ground level provides a view down the garden while at the same
time framing the activity of the studio.
Internally the studio is read as a neutral white space, allowing the
furniture and the artist's work to take on a painterly quality. Externally,
the studio is clad in corten steel, an economic and expressive material,
its colour and slow patination re-enforces the building's sculptural
quality.
