Small Studio With Creative Sailboat Racer Exterior Accent and Cozy Interior Design
Excellent Private and Cozy Small Studio
The studio was build by the couples of husband and wife Sarah Deeds as an architect and John McBride as a carpenter. They build the stuido right behind their nice house in California and she planned as an irregular pentagon shape to maximize interior space. She used salvaged and FSC-certified wood for the construction, formaldehyde-free fiberglass and denim insulation, a door left over from a previous project, and no-VOC paint, stains and finishes. Adding to what she calls the clubhouse feel, so she put a large south-facing high window overlooking an existing deciduous California buckeye tree that provides shade in the summer, and painted a bright "burgee" detail atop the exterior, milled from a fallen tree. The exterior wall was using lifelong sailboat racer to make the studio not too architery and the siding was applied as a rainscreen to cut down on chances of woodrot.
The glass and aluminum front door, from Loewen, was salvage from another project. The windows are all-weather double-glazed aluminum. The landscaping and new path, which reaches back to the main house, are by Berkeley-based Matt Hornby Garden Design. She also used environmentally friendly wood stain and no-VOC for the exterior for longevity and durability. When the nights comes, this studio become glowing with the help of the embedded lighting.
The inside interior was using a wall-to-wall sofa supported with a square steel tube with storage drawers underneath. A single shelf provide more storage. The thick insulation and the passive solar features perform wonderfully makes the building very comfortable without supplemental heat. When it is too cold, she could just warm up the room by turning on a few lights and the computer. And because of the insulation, the heat sticks around.
The Opposite end of the structure has a low clearance of five-feet, nine-inches to reduce exterior volume and accommodate the roof pitch above the desk, which is curved so people can more easily interact at meetings, as opposed to sitting in a line at a straight edge of table. The last touch for the interior is that she hung a single Louis Puolsen PH5 Lamp from the ceiling and the blue-red interior paint is very friendly to human skin tones.
