A careful deconstruction of an existing Federation residence, to incorporate new working spaces and reconstruct living areas within the existing footprint for an artist, a writer and their family.

The painting of St Jerome in his study, by Antonello da Messina, provided the inspiration for the architecture of the art & writing studio. The idea of one's own intimate space within a larger communal room which creates both a sense of privacy and outlook.

Our work on this project inspired the client to write the poem Ode To a Tin Shed.
