"Bark Design aims to create building that are designed from the inside out. Responding directly to the needs of the people who use them, buildings integrated delicately with the natural landscape, ensuring minimal environmental impact and maximum sustainability. Opportunities for natural light, passive ventilation and cooling are also fully explored."
Bark Studio is a modernist steel and glass pavillion, sitting on four steel footings, with cantilever decks which hover lightly over the landscape.
The studio has openable and fixed glazing on three sides, while the fourth facade is clad in plywood to provide privacy and protection for the western sun.
A floating roof plane generously overhangs the main structure to 'bring the outside in' and allow additional natural light into the mezzanine level.
Three linear zones serve as private and public space. The main workscape was conceived as an open verandah and functions as a service space, while the staircase sweeps past a window box display of past models and provides a transition to the mezzanine level. This private area serves as a retreat accomodating sleeping, reading and bathing.Bark Studio (2010).
