This studio is set within the Mapledene conservation area in east London, it is a complex multifunctional space for a video artist and theoretician.The garden cinema takes its form from creating projecting space. It has an internal projection wall as well as an external cinema screen, a bright work space as well as a dark developing space. It achieves this by adopting a half basement as its principal level and a mezzanine floor as its secondary space. Set at the end of the garden, the building has one window which forms a dialogue across the garden with the main living space of the artist’s house. At night time this window transforms into a reverse projection cinema screen for private viewings in the garden.
