01 / THE BRIEF

A shorter journey.
More space to create.

The artist wanted to replace a long studio commute with a walk down her garden. The brief called for extra headroom, space to hang large canvases, a suitable working floor and storage for art materials and garden equipment.

02 / THE CREATIVE SPACE

Light above.
Wall space all around.

Four roof light tubes bring in daylight while preserving hanging space. Four specialist daylight strip lights support the working area.
