Caseyfierro Architects\u00a0<\/a> transformed a redundant light industrial unit creating one of the largest studio and private use spaces in London for the artist Anish Kapoor. The buildings are one of a complex of light industrial units Anish works from on the same street. The project reorganised the present clients workspace by removing the constraining low level roof from leaving a brick shell and introduce a new uniform 7 meter high clear roof over the complete footprint of the 10,000sq ft space. The brief asked for spaces of varying crudeness, not to repeat gallery typology but provide a place for testing artwork and a personal place for creativity. The interior is divided into \u2018As-Found\u2019 \u2018High North Light\u2019 type and \u2018Painting\u2019 studio spaces. The clear interior provides flexibility responding to inevitable reorganisation as the sculptors explorations dictate. The exterior of the building had much of the external clutter removed, openings were infilled making a tough and simple textural collage to the contemporary interventions of glazing.<\/p>\n
