About the project

An old industrial building turned into live-work spaces for twelve artists. The brief was straightforward · give each resident a well-lit studio and a place to sleep, then create shared spaces where collaboration can happen naturally.

A central atrium with a cafe and informal gallery connects the studios and encourages chance encounters. The design preserves the original concrete shell and exposed roof trusses, adding only what was necessary: skylights, a new circulation core, and a rooftop terrace for installations.

It is rough, honest, and built to evolve with use.
