#107 Wings of LightThe studio is designed to have light entering the building on three sides.
The solution to this problem is:
Our house is long and only 2 rooms wide with windows on all sides. By placing the studio only a few steps away from the house, it is like a private wing of the house.

#109 Long Thin HouseThe problem is:
Another influence on designing a separate building for the studio is to make 'a room of one's own', a private space to work for long periods of uninterrupted time. I want a private space. A shed.
My parents gave me a book about women's sheds for my birthday. It is about women and their sheds what they are like and what they do in them. This Pinterest board has lots of images from the book.
Women's Sheds on PinterestThe Pattern Language solution is:
The studio's outside dimensions are 20 feet wide and 40 feet long as limited by the space between the trees. The walls are 8 inches thick making the inside space smaller.
