Studio House is comprised of two moveable structures, distinctive for their conjoined hooped form and clever use of a tight footprint. At only 42 sqm, the living area spans the two volumes, resulting in a surprisingly generous space. Judicious use of materials is a hallmark of the design, from the corrugated cladding to the use of scaffolding for the exterior canopy. Detailing is well considered yet economical: hoop windows are crisply detailed and the loft creates a snug sleeping platform for visitors. The Studio House presents a compelling way forward – an economic and considered solution to the residential genre.
