Building for the Pictures

Our final project for studio is a live/work space, and last week I made the "work" part of the equation. The thing that's due is a bunch of photos of the space, so I'm going to re-use a lot of the pieces for the kitchen and living room, which are all that remain to be built.

And of course, I have photos. Some actually taken with a decent digital camera instead of with the cameraphone.

...

We start off at the front door. There's a tiny little shop (about 13' x 15', but I haven't measured so don't listen to me) with display space for about ten pieces at a time.

The person in the drawing is sized to five feet tall, so I can see how the space relates to me.

Shop

Behind the shop is the workshop, which is basically a giant room with a big table and lots of storage shelves. The ceiling is 12' high, roughly. The staircaseat the back has a little room under it for retreating and hiding in. I cut my finger making that staircase.

But check out the little books! From the staircase you can see out into the shared back yard, which has a dog-safe pool in it, plus a couple of kilns and a table to eat at.

A better shot of the workshop (I ended up shortening the legs of the table so I could work at it). Lots of shelves full of books and boxes. They're the same books as were on the staircase, by the way. I'm lazy that way.

Carla keeps knocking the model base and making things fall over, then getting all apologetic about having messed my stuff up. So I had an earthquake.

Earthquake!
