The Studio is perched on only four steel footings in order to slot between two mature Australian Eucalypts, the modular 20 metre long structure of steel portal frames is encased with openable and fixed glazing on three sides, layered with operable blinds, framing the broad views of the Pacific coastline.
The main linear work space was conceived as an open veranda with compactly scaled service spaces ’plugging in’ along it’s length. These service spaces include Kitchen, Laundry, Bathrooms, File and Drawing Storage and vertical circulation.
From the main studio platform, folded plywood stairs ascend past the large ‘shopfront’ window box, displaying models of past and current projects to a mezzanine level which contains spaces for architecture books, quiet reading, sleeping and bathing.
