Most artists if pressed
could produce their work in a bathroom, they naturally adapt to their means.
Our client wanted a space that would "call" her to create, and
maintain a connection to her family. The proximity to the existing house,
angling the building to capture the best light and sight lines to outdoor play
areas established that connection. Strategically placed block walls provide the
privacy she needs when working.
We wanted a material that
would imply weight, would age gracefully, and would show the hand of the
artisan. Concrete block was first to come to mind but then was brought AAC
(aerated autoclave concrete) to the table. Very similar to CMU in look and installation
but it is a different animal and we adjusted our design to take advantage of its
benefits. AAC’s thermal properties, dimensional stability, and ease of
manipulation allowed us to take our design further. The exterior is finished
with a light colored stucco to bounce light into the interior spaces. While on the
interior, the AAC is finished with a simple clear coat to show off the masonry.
Our design works with the
color, texture, and pattern of the block to ground the building to the site and
our artist to her studio. While the shape and structure of the roof express the
leap into a world of possibilities. The combination of weight and lightness embodies
our artist’s needs while providing space for her to explore her art.
