Unique Artist's Studios We Love

Phillips designed Judith a stark white, glass-fronted art studio.

A glass door on the north side sits opposite a glass window on the south wall that overlooks a birch tree forest. Skylights pull light into the interior. "Even though the artist paints landscapes, she didn't want to be distracted by the beauty of her surroundings while in the studio, which led to the limited apertures," Peterson says.

"We wanted them to be silhouettes that just exist on the landscape," says Feilden Clegg Bradley and architect Charlotte Knight, who helped design The Study and The Workshop, a pair of mobile artist's studios currently located in South Downs, two hours drive south of London. "They’re black and foreboding. In the distance, it’s quite striking."

Inside the collage studio, light floods in from outside. “He didn’t want to be able to necessarily see the outside but he wanted it to be very bright,” Semaan says. “From the inside, you can’t make out exactly what’s out there but you can see some of the colors of the exterior through the polycarbonate.”
