This assignment, from spring of my 1st year of Architecture School, was to design a studio space for a sculptor within a set of strict restrictions.
The requirements called for:
- a datum wall running east to west with a major and a minor space on both the north and south sides of the datum.
- a 4ft corridor running along one side of the datum.
- a ramp on the north side of the datum and stairs to the south.
- an enclosed north major space with counters along two walls, and an open south major space with benches along two walls.
- a 12ft radius of open floor space in each major space.
As this was first year, all drawings and models were drafted and built by hand. The rendering was created using photoshop from a hand drawn sketch.

Final Model. View from South-West corner.
South Elevation
West Section
From the original plan, 3 versions were made using different organizational schemes- Cellular, Frame and Infill, and Parallel Walls. The 3 plans were then combined into a hybrid scheme. This original sketch was modified to create the final plan. The ideas from the plan were also carried over to other areas of the design in elevation and plan.
A rough render of the view to the south, giving a sense of what the space feels like.
