Creative Spaces Emily Brown

Space to Maximize Comfort


Living and working in the same space would maximize my personal comfort. This design is a 1200 square foot studio apartment that would maximize creative comfort for me and my partner. Features include a pull-down projector screen, plenty of natural and synthetic light,
ample work surfaces and lots of storage to foster a dissolution between home/creative life.


Space to Maximize Risk-Taking

Having an area strictly for artists and their creative endeavors jump starts risk taking. The decagonal building is a series of nine"private" studios arranged around a common central hub. The studios have bifold doors as walls to the main area and transparent pocket doors running through the inner walls, making privacy a choice the artists have to make. This fosters risk in making art a communal experience while still maintaining personal autonomy, as well as ensuring that there would almost always be someone in one of the studios to bounce ideas off of. There is also an arboretum in the center, so the artists can get fresh air without having to leave the studio.
