Tinaroo Studio

By day, the structure presents a solid, sheltered facade, characterized by stone and dark glass, which imparts a sense of privacy and protection. As dusk approaches, the solidity begins to dissolve, revealing the transparency of the glazing and subtly connecting the interior with the surrounding landscape. The design skillfully addresses the proximity to the water and the surrounding vegetation through a delicate interplay of framed views and a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

An external fireplace serves as both a physical and social focal point, extending the living area into the outdoors and enhancing the connection with the natural environment. The expansive roofs appear to float above the masonry blade walls, lightening the building’s visual weight while allowing natural light and air to penetrate from above. Carefully designed sunshades protect the studio from the intense heat of the day, sheltering openings that invite cooling breezes into the interior.

The choice of materials and finishes reflects the surrounding landscape, with a focus on low-maintenance solutions that ensure longevity without frequent refinishing. This attention to detail and materiality reinforces the studio’s connection to its environment, creating a serene and enduring space that honors its rural setting.
