A studio in the garden

The studio sits at the back of the lot, clad in hand-split western red cedar shingles that will silver with age. A cobalt lacquered Dutch door gives it a bright front entry, with glass doors opening to the garden and the pool.

Inside, rift-sawn white oak paneling lines the walls up into the vaulted ceiling. A walnut kitchenette with honed soapstone counters runs along one wall under the window.

The bath pairs a checkerboard tile floor with a frameless glass shower, small-format mosaic above and stone-look tile below.
