Design development of the interior compositions for the selected Art Studio Cabin option
Graphical representations of the client-selected first option for Art Studio Cabin, charting the design development of the interior spaces – selected for its more rigorous pursuit of spatial economy than the second option (previously shown below in model form).
Resolved within a compact 4m x 3.8m structural grid, one room houses a dedicated bedroom within which the bathroom is located, while the second room configures an art workspace with a compact living area and incorporated kitchen. Within this room, an integrated custom sofa and flexible island unit underscore the dual functions of the space.
Art Studio Cabin concept model for second design option
Concept model of the second Art Studio Cabin design option. Marginally more compact than the first design option, it offers an equally modest, all-electric proposition with a PV system, battery storage, and low carbon and FSC-certified materials inside and out.
Composed in a tightly controlled palette of timber, concrete and steel with millimetre rigour, it’s been designed with equal consideration for economic practicality and environmental sustainability, aiming to deliver modest-scale living and work spaces tailored to the needs of an artist couple.
Art Studio Cabin concept model for first design option
Concept model of one proposed design option for Art Studio Cabin - a compact, carefully controlled building intended to serve as both an art workspace and a secondary dwelling at the rear of an established site in the Lower North Shore of Sydney.
The plan is composed of two distinct ‘rooms’, arranged with economy and clarity to accommodate essential functions efficiently. In contrast to its compact footprint, it offers a generosity of space through its elevated, sculpted roof form, which amplifies light and volume internally.
