Heriot Toun Artist Studio

The client wanted a gathering place for collaboration and exchange of ideas among artists across the creative spectrum. Our response is a building with a ‘light footprint’. The basic form of the Studio stems from a desire to provide the required accommodation in a simple, direct manner, whilst taking full advantage of the significant qualities of the site. The studio sits on a hillside facing south-east, overlooking the valley. The foundations are timber piles, the superstructure and cladding is timber and the insulation is sheep’s wool.
