This freestanding art studio was built for a couple on the same property as their existing residence. The studio is nestled into a tree line near the edge of the property. The building is composed of two intersecting volumes; one a steel frame with a translucent polycarbonate curtain wall and, the other, a wood frame with cedar siding and punched windows. The first volume houses a collage studio for Him and the second houses a ceramic studio for Her.

The two intersecting volumes are each composed of distinctive skins which reflect the two different working environments. The polycarbonate system creates a private and introverted space filled with diffused natural light while projecting and obscuring colors and shadows from the surrounding environment onto the interior walls. The more typical wood framed volume introduces a series of punctures, framing views of the yard and the house, creating a more direct visual connection with the surroundings.
