Local design studio Atelier Janda Vanderghote creates the T(uin)Huis Atelier garden studio using simple materials. It is located in Ghent, Belgium and originally meant to function as a woodworking studio. The approach aimed to create a flexible space and is currently functioning as a temporary home for the owners as the work is being done simultaneously. Simplicity was a focus for the studio and so it created a cuboidal structure that creates a rhythmic facade using copper framing elements.
Co-founder of the studio Indra Janda tells Dezeen about the design process, stating "The simple and clear structural layering, together with the large window overlooking the garden and the view through to the park, creates a great sense of spaciousness." the garden studio features an open layout with a blend of working and living environments. Janda continues, "We designed an open & flexible plan, but also wanted to create a serene space, a place where it is pleasant to stay and where you can live on the rhythm of nature."
