STERRITT STUDIO

A board and batten fence extends perpendicularly from the existing house. It bends and traces the lower perimeter of the free-standing studio; and becomes a sliding wall / the public entry to the interior.

A tall clerestory runs the full northern length of the studio.
Structured on canted posts, it rises free of and lightly above the horizontal datum of eaves, trellis and adjacent roofs.


A elemental trellis foregrounds as the carport, casting shadows, horizontal against vertical, under a mighty conifer.
