Lakewood Art Studio

KZ architecture have added an extension to a home in Florida by creating an artists studio. The 800 square foot studio addition seems to float above the homes new terracing, helped by a floor plate that extends beyond the edge of the studio and is lit from underneath. Windows that face South and West are shaded by deep overhangs, while North-facing clerestory windows have no shading device, making certain the studio is filled with indirect, natural light by day. The front of the studio, facing the lake has a large storefront facade next to a large wall framing a small, square window, in a way acting as signage that this is indeed a working artists atelier.
