Austere brick<\/a> walls cloak a bright skylit<\/a> painting studio at the heart of Atelier Cambre\u00a0in Argentina<\/a>, designed by local architecture practice Esteras Perrote.<\/p>\n

The studio sits nestled within the mountainous, forested landscape of C\u00f2rboda’s Punilla Valley, and was created for Argentinian artist Juan Jos\u00e9 Cambre.<\/p>\n

Tasked with recreating the feeling of painting outdoors, Esteras Perrote<\/a> organised the studio around a five-metre-high painting space, which is illuminated by long skylights and opens onto a terrace through a set of folding glass doors.<\/p>\n

“One of the central gestures of the project emerged from a very simple request from the client: the possibility of painting outdoors,” said the studio’s co-founder Gonzalo Perrote.<\/p>\n

“From that idea, we began to explore how the architecture could incorporate that experience without losing the sense of refuge of the studio,” Perrote told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“Rather than a collection of rooms, the project proposes a generous working environment where light, landscape and painting structure the experience of the place.”<\/p>\n

\"AtelierLocally-sourced red brick cloaks the exterior<\/p>\n

The large volume containing Atelier Cambre’s main studio space is connected to a tower-like service and circulation volume via a short, glazed link.<\/p>\n

This tower contains bathrooms and a staircase leading up onto a rooftop terrace.<\/p>\n

\"AtelierThe studio is organised around a five-metre-high painting space<\/p>\n

Both volumes have been clad in locally-sourced red brick, a choice informed by a small structure that had formerly stood on the site as well as a desire to blend in with the landscape.<\/p>\n

Inside, the painting area sits beneath four long, narrow skylights. At the opposite end, a study area and small kitchenette are tucked under a steel mezzanine level that offers a vantage point over the painting space.<\/p>\n

Carefully placed openings throughout the building frame views of the surrounding woodland, with two tall, narrow openings at the end of the painting space creating cross-ventilation to facilitate drying.<\/p>\n

White finishes and natural wood floors create a minimal backdrop to Cambre’s paintings, with the only colour in the interiors being a series of green cabinet doors alongside the kitchenette.<\/p>\n

“Rather than imposing itself on the landscape, the architecture seeks to situate itself within it, using that open space as an opportunity,” fellow co-founder Luc\u00eda Esteras told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“In this sense, each window was conceived as a specific frame of the surroundings, almost as a device to capture fragments of the landscape and bring them back into the interior,” he added.<\/p>\n
