Other Projects by Prentiss + Balance + Wickline Architects
Weaving Studio
This project is located on a steep rocky waterfront parcel
on the west shore of San Juan Island in Washington. An existing house was
already on the accessible location; the only remaining spot for the Studio was
on a rocky shelf above and behind the residence.
The client, a professional weaver, and her husband are
preparing to move to San Juan Island once the husband retires. Their
request was for studio space in which she could have all her weaving tools
in one facility: her looms, her dying facilities, the sewing and assembly area
and an office. She would use this space for her craft but also to hold weaving
guild meetings and display her work. In addition to the programmatic requirements
of the studio they wanted to have an overflow bedroom for guests.
The solution is a generous main studio space flowing with
natural light that provides ample display space
while maintaining incremental views of the sound. Off of this
space the auxiliary spaces have been defined by the folding back of the
exterior shell: to one end a bath and office, to the other a “wet room”. The
wet room could be closed off and opened to the exterior in order to allow fumes
from dying and drying to not permeate the rest of the studio. Two
additional spaces, the sewing room and a
guest bedroom appear as an extrusion of the main studio space set into the
hill at the back of the studio. A series of sliding panels intended as display
panels for weaving projects hide or reveal access to the back rooms and storage
cabinets.
