Photographer’s Studio

This 840 square foot studio is an excercise in prefabricated modular construction. Conceptually based on a large-format 8x10 camera, the goal is to integrate design and construction to reduce assembly time, cost, and waste. The inset hydraulic door is clad with translucent polycarbonate panels, filtering natural light to the interior. The raised door creates a covered terrace, opening the studio to its wooded site. Shutters on the side windows are fixed with pneumatic cylinders, allowing greater control of the interior environment.
