Anish Kapoor Studio V, VI & VII in London, England by Caseyfierro ArchitectsMay 17th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Caseyfierro Architects The project was completed in late 2015 and is the final phase of the transformation of industrial units to studio spaces in South London for a sculptor and artist Sir Anish Kapoor.  Image Courtesy © CFA

The artist works with differing media and processes and required flexible spaces for the unique processes to make work within self contained environments. The brief asked for 7.5 meter high volumes with a roof structure having the load capacity to suspend a 3 metric tonne hanging load at any one point.

The 1950’s profiled clerestory glazing maintained the architecture of the discrete and the ordinary.

Walls are a mix of self coloured infill brick panels, smooth plastering or retained surfaces with the history of the artists interventions marked on the surfaces.

The construction of the roof relied on normal industrial profiled insulated roof sheeting. Connections between particular units were kept to a minimum. Individual artworks with particular processes demanded a degree of separation.

Studio VII The workspaces are flexible, used to layout and test exhibitions and fabricate works. Spaces maintain the atmosphere of a work place with a palette of materials and details from industrial architecture.
