This project created a multi-use studio space at the rear of a carefully curated garden
Taking cues from the client’s background in opera, the project references galleries, stage curtains and balconies found in traditional opera theatres and combines them with high quality modern materials. With its arched windows and fluted window surrounds, this garden building was designed as a rehearsal space for an opera singer, bringing functionality and light together with cheeky decorative flourishes.
