Serene Artist's Studio Lets In Just Enough Scenery To Not Be Distracting

Peterson Rich Office designed a modern studio for artist Tula Telfair in Lyme, Connecticut. The space is designed to complement the picturesque setting, while not letting it take the artist away from her work.

This 1,200-square-foot studio features a stained cedar exterior and an unusual roofline.

A glass door on the north side sits opposite a glass window on the south wall that overlooks a birch tree forest.

The structure is located on a flood plain, so it is raised 30 inches from the ground by a floating deck.

This project is Peterson Rich Office's first ground-up work, and was awarded the Jury Prize by the Architizer A+ Awards...
