I am designing artists studios for the people who don’t have the room at home, whether it be the garden shed or spare room to carry out their hobby (such as jewellery making, fixing broken radios or painting). They are designed to have plenty of storage to encourage hoarding and create the sense that the studios are growing independently and slowly taking over.
What I noticed on the first site visit was the poor light quality inside and plain facade of the building. Because of this I started looking a different materials and textures to create a feeling that the studios are glowing, like what is inside is bursting to get out. I also started looking at how to 'cut' into the Hanbury street elevation to provide a glimpse of what is going on inside and also allow more natural light into the building.
