Revised axonometric indicating the internal layout of one of the artist studio. A central core (red) houses services such as kitchen, toilet, shower and plant whilst also supporting a cantilevered first floor level which is a flexiable space containing a fold down bed with the core which then projects through the roof to create a north facing angled lantern.
By restricting the service functions to the centre of the the structure the remaining floor space can be used as flexible studio space with views over Le Touquet town and the English channel through the east and west facing picture windows.
In addition to acting as a self contained studio space and occasional residence all of the functional aspects can be folded away to provide an open plan exhibition space, the north lantern provides an even light on the upper level whilst a flash gap between the first floor level and walls allows a certain amount of light to filter through to the ground floor which would be supported by a specialist lighting system. The west and east facingpicture windows can be sealed with sliding shutters to frame a specific view, increase privacy or to darken the space.
