The AUB Design Workshops & Studios Conversions consist of the transformation of two former on-campus halls of residence, originally constructed in 2001, into modern studio and teaching space for Arts University Bournemouth’s internationally renowned higher education courses.
The success of the institution, and the wider changing demands of higher education, instigated a reappraisal of the Halls’ use as part of Design Engine’s 2009 vision for the future masterplan for the University.
Sustainably built and solar-powered, MacArthur Annex features 33 shipping containers transformed into three stories of mixed-use space. The complex that was completed in 2017, provides 24 private studios and offices, each approximately 150 square feet, as well as 3 street-facing retail outlets, a coffee shop and a restaurant with adjoining beer garden.
Located in Belltown, a downtown Seattle neighborhood, this studio is dedicated to the display of Lino Tagliapietra’s glass art. Tagliapietra’s work explores the limits of glass—its form, texture, and color. In response to the drama of his work, the space itself becomes an exercise in restraint, a quiet armature and environment in which art becomes the focal point.

Best Practice was asked to develop a master plan for a multi-phase development of a 16,700sf site that was originally a gas station providing multiple options for artist studios. The first phase consists of building a new pre-engineered building, remodeling the old body shop garage and creating an outdoor sculpture garden. The site planning strategy was to create a composition of multiple buildings that would allow for autonomy for each tenant while feeling like they are a part of a community. The existing buildings received a light make over consisting primarily of new windows and enhanced landscaping. The new building was constructed using an “off the shelf” industrial building system and then customized with unique windows, a mezzanine office with steel stair, and wood interior paneling. The space is used by a metal sculptor, who’s need for a tall volume of space accommodates both the creations and equipment.

“Speartha Broidnithe Eadach” – The heavens embroidered cloths from the W.B Yeats poem ‘He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven’.
Drawing inspiration from the surrounding landscape, a landscape of continual changing color, texture and mood and a landscape that is sensationalized from the studio of 23b Walkers Road. Yeats description of something so fantastical, which no one can ever own, was an appropriate salutation towards the encompassing beauty that is celebrated from each space on both levels of the plan, in particular when one is having a bath.
Set in the orthonormal organisation of the town of Mons-en-Barœul, the cultural centre pivots, the better to look at the town hall. The building gains in autonomy and becomes an urban landmark. It contains three music studios, one 500‑seat modular auditorium, a bar, an exhibition gallery, and a large rehearsal room.
The pivoting of the volume of the large rehearsal room creates a large empty space on the inside that connects with the other elements of the project. The geometrical conflict generated by this pivoting is revealed by the triangular shape the empty space creates. In association with the diagonal lines of the staircase, the walls bend in an upward movement.
The Brooklyn Garden Studio is a 55-square-foot self-built retreat located in the garden of a Boerum Hill townhouse in Brooklyn, New York. Built by the architect during nights and weekends over a four-month period, the studio is a resourceful exploration of stripped-down simplicity. A tinkering architect’s escape from the city, both in the act of building and time spent within its walls, it is a canvas for testing details and spatial constraints, an exercise in developing a language for larger work, and an indulgence in the experience of being one’s own client.
