01 artist's house and studio

brief: To design a potter's studio, small gallery to display for sale craft goods produced and living accommodation for the artist and family.

site: The small historic village of Inverary is situated on the west coast of Scotland. The site nestles amongst a museum to the west, existing housing to the north and south and a car park to the east.

design: the living and working spaces are housed in two seperate buildings. A curved wall of glass to the front of the gallery draws people into the confined site and provide maximum display space for the artist's work. The potter's studio above is serviced by a small lift for the transfer of wokr to the gallery. Living accommodation has been orientated to take advantage of coastal views and sunlight to the south.
