Honourable Mention in the XII Manuel de Oraá Prize
STUDIO FOR AN ARTIST -- Private Commission --
‘M’ STUDIO
An existing house with a fabulous garden.
There is no space to grow.
It is a question of how we support it on the ground.
With only one leg, creating balance.
Rising over a Canary palm tree, looking out at a guava, watering adracanea, smelling azaleas,...
One single section, with two large heads.
One leg-staircase-storage-shelf-toilet, with four spaces around it.
Two interiors: the studio and the classrooms and two exteriors: the access threshold and the reading porch.
A neutral space, gray, which is open to the light in the morning and the afternoon.
The rest is achieved with the paintings: the hanging paintings, the smell of turpentine, the colors of the oil paints,....
