Writer’s Studio and Garage by Studio Vatn

The lone window in the office looks over a leafy green tree.

The garage-studio reflects the palette of the main house, if not the specific architectural style.

The unique design of the garage and studio references the curved architectural ornamentation of the main home.

A curved staircase brings an organic touch to an otherwise linear design.

The steps and exterior are lined with Finnish brick; a mix of vertical and horizontal patterns add visual interest.
