‘Room in the garden’ - Interior of the Weston Studio

Making the most of the landscape setting: providing a room in the garden

Flexible dance studio space set deep into the natural garden landscape. Ample glazing provides views out and brings natural light in.

MICA created a studio space for performing arts that is wrapped in warm wood and vertical glazing

Weston Studio extension provides strong linkage to the landscape surrounding the studio, creates a sense of community for dancers and visitors alike.

St Margaret’s Road Elevation - After

The studio extension steps carefully around the root protection areas of the existing trees

A timber structure was designed in collaboration with EngineersHRW to extend that of the existing steel and concrete Weston Studio.

Full height ventilation panels to the east and west facades reduce the burden on the existing services, by allowing controlled natural ventilation and purging of the studio space after classes.
