West wall of studio building, with stained MDO siding
FBJ Studio
This small backyard studio takes advantage of an existing change in grade on the building site. The studio portion is entered from the lower yard,and a small storage loft over the studio bathroom is entered from the upper yard.
The studio feels surprisingly large inside, given the small (16'-0" x 24'-0") footprint. The interior gains its spacious feel from its height, and from the natural light flooding the room from two large skylights. Select views - of garden and sky - keep the studio from feeling completely isolated, but maintain privacy for the artist within.
