Garden Studio

Since the structure houses two different work spaces, in which possible meetings with clients and collaborators could occur, the studio is divided in two main spaces. Logistically the two spaces can function separately, with a kitchen and bathroom as a central core. When used to host guest, the studio turns into a living room, bedroom and sleep attic.

The choice to create an integrated minimalistic interior was dictated by the wish for a variety of functions and the limited space available. By creating the complete interior in birch plywood, a subtle and calm atmosphere could be achieved in the small spaces, while leaving room for personalisation. An alternating staircase and folding bed are integrated space-savers.

The main structure is a wood structure on a concrete slab, chosen for it’s sustainability and (cost-) efficiency. The wooden exterior with its big glass front façade including a sliding door, blends the studio in with the surrounding garden and creates a connection between interior and exterior. The owners or guests can enjoy the evening sun, while having a visual or actual connection with the garden.
