Design Intent Behind Bark Studio:

-Making a ‘Showcase’ of our climatic and site responsive design philosophies.

-In a semi rural situation the building needed to be a self contained environment and a demonstration that with appropriate site specific design and technology, knowledge based professionals such as Architects can successfully work in an alternative to the urban studio environment.

-Expressing lightness, transparency, texture, seamless indoor / outdoor spaces, light and shadow, climate response, landscape integration as essential design principles.

-Expressing an economy of lightweight materials within a framework of strong structural legibility.
