Situated within the enclosed garden of artists’ collective the Colour Factory, this project emerged from the need for a small workshop that could provide a studio facility for the delivery of regular and ongoing classes for the local community.
Driven by an extremely challenging construction budget of only £15,000, the 25m2 building has relied on the use of a minimal materials palette to maximum effect. To this end, the building is comprised of a timber and plywood structure clad in translucent, colorful polycarbonate panels that reflect the ethos of the client organisation. Apertures in the plywood provide pools of coloured light to the interior during the day, and glowing circles of colour to the exterior at night.
