ARTIST RETREAT

This is a design a 1000 sf studio space for a luthier that reflects their needs and aesthetics. The goal was to separate the working area from the main space. The main challenge was to provide enough storage for the artist without taking away from the main space. Additionally, it was important to make the studio look like a shop instead of the workshop.

Work Area

The views provide a closer look into the work area. Many storage options were provided to meet the needs of the artist to store and showcase his work. The clerestory windows on the top of the building provide extra natural light. Natural materials such as wood and stone were used to create a calming and welcoming environment where the artist will comfortable and inspired while creating new musical instruments.

Lounge

The perspective shows the lounge where clients can chat with the luthier and discuss the instrument they would like to purchase. Additionally, it highlights the music area that provides an opportunity for potential buyers to test the musical instrument before purchasing.
