Can you think of a better place to create art than a beautiful, naturally daylit studio where all your materials are organized and at the tip of your fingers? That's exactly what these compact workplaces - from one with a green roof, to another with shipping container walls and even one inside an old subway car - offer. Read on for 6 brilliant studios that are perfect for the eco artist.
1. Green-Roofed Weaving Studio in Washington
Located on the San Juan Islands in Washington is this gorgeous weaving studio designed by Prentiss Architects. Topped off with a grass-covered roof, the spacious studio has views of the water, enjoys plenty of natural daylight and also serves as an extra bedroom when guests come to visit.
2. Artists in Residence Container Studio in The Netherlands
Badgast is a modern live/work studio space at an artistic surfer village called F.A.S.T (Free Architecture Surf Terrain) on the beach in Scheveningen near the Hauge. The container studio was designed by the Netherlands-based Refunc for Satellietgroep and is used by artists in residence for their month long stay to produce a sea or bather related project.
3. Vintage Airstream Transformed into a Studio in Phoenix
Maybe you don’t have the money for an architect-designed studio, but with some elbow grease and some DIY gumption, you can transform a vintage trailer into a studio, just like Sarah of 26 Letters did. Sarah and her husband plopped a 1963 Airstream Safari Trailer in their backyard, gutted it and simply finished the space to provide the designer/writer with the space she needed, all on the cheap.
