Midden Studio in Britain, United Kingdom by Studio Weave

Tuesday, August 18th, 2015

Article source: Studio Weave

Perched on the edge of Britain, Midden Studio is a surreal atavistic building that reveals its secrets slowly. The spiky zinc-clad artist’s studio nestles by a stream on the west coast of Scotland. The building sits on top of a Victorian midden wall (formerly the depository for dung from the nearby stables).
