Articulation of the exterior expression for Art Studio Cabin
Exterior visuals for Art Studio Cabin reveal how the building responds to its site and place. Twin barrel-vault roofs lift a modest floor area, with glazed ends decisively expanding the interior to the surrounding tree canopy and sky.
The external material palette forges a dialogue with the tones of the landscape, allowing it to sit comfortably within its setting - while concrete 'tongues', deliberately shaped to echo the symmetry of the vaults, form a considered terrace to sit and enjoy the garden.
Design development of the interior compositions for the selected Art Studio Cabin option
Graphical representations charting the design development of the interior spaces for the client-selected first option for Art Studio Cabin - chosen for its modest footprint and more rigorous pursuit of spatial economy than the second option.
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.
