Long Studio by Saunders Architecture

Saunders Architecture of Norway have recently completed the first of six artists’ studios on Fogo Island off the coast of Canada. Similar to local fisherman’s houses, the studio sits on stilts and is clad in rough-sawn pine and whitewashed spruce on the interior.The prefabricated timber construction is intended to be repeated across the island.The plan is divided into three: an entrance porch, courtyard and studio space, with utilities recessed into the wall.The building generates power using solar panels, treats its own waste and uses both rain and grey water.The Long Studio is isolated from the community, accessed only by a ten minute walk.
