The way both studio spaces are arranged and mirrored, allows a continuous circulation and forms a relationship between to each other. Both rooms are arranged like ‘twins’ and evoke a sense of repetition. One is facing the clients garden with a clear window, the other with a translucent window facing north, creating the perfect light condition for a painting studio. Walking back and forward between both studios suggests a comparison and reveals their particular nuances, light condition and character.

Built using off the shelf materials to a cost of less than £420 per m², the approach could be described as industrial vernacular. Using existing products and common technical solutions, we focused on the essential elements that give a project architectural quality: spacious, practical and well insulated spaces with dual aspect views and maximum natural light.
