Mini-Studio
This Mini-Studio, limited to
only 27sqm of footprint, is nested in a small gap originally occupied by a
storage-room (between 3 existing constructions), in the backyard of a
middle-class house in Mexico City.
Being and artistic workshop and due to the south
orientation of the site, the main challenge was to avoid the entry of direct
sunlight into the space, without cancelling the view towards the garden.
To achieve this, the upper-level volume thrusts itself
southward to project its shadow over the large (ground-floor) window that
connects the studio with the exterior.
The sloped roof slabs block away the sun rays from the
working area, allowing the subtle entrance of uniform light over the
double-height ceilings which communicate both levels, amplifying the scale.
The mezzanine gently rests over a wall at the back of
the studio and launches itself towards the exterior dissolving the outline
marked by the floor, to end suspended over the garden integrating it to the
space. At the same time, the ground-floor glazed door, opens from side to side
to completely vanish the border between interior and exterior.
A small gesture at the top of the façade produces a
size changing triangular shadow throughout the day, providing movement to the
volume.
Using trapezoidal shapes and with a careful control of
perspective, vanishing points are emphasized, achieving a dynamic and fluid
space that awakens imagination while stimulating creativity.
