While the studio is Joy’s dedicated workspace, it also serves as a guest house for visiting friends and family. The colorful kitchen palette pairs rich grey with dusty lavender, tied together with brass accents.

Eva designed new, curved stairs with a smooth plaster surface that contrasts with the roughness of some of the exposed stones.

A 1930s screen by Jomaine Baumann shields a duct from view.

Below the window is a bench Eva made using an old wooden plank and loose stones found during the building’s renovations. The curtains were handsewn from pieces of lace she bought at a flea market in nearby Arles.
