Terry Winters









"This art studio for both drawing and painting, in addition to providing for the amenities of storage, cooking, cleaning, and reading, posed the problem of how to achieve extreme horizontal openness in order to move freely within the studio. It is based upon an expanded NYC loft typology that has been displaced to the countryside. The design focuses on constructing a hollowed out bubble uninterrupted by structure. This dictated the design of the structural system and enabled a column free interior with moment frames on each end that would serve as external porches and viewing spaces between nature and the built environment."

Het contrast tussen dit nieuwe atelier van Terry Winters (door MOS-office) en het atelier van Francis Bacon (zie hieronder) kan bijna niet groter. In dit atelier kun je wel "storage, cooking, cleaning and reading" voorstellen, maar nauwelijks "painting". Toch een goede schilder. (foto's: MOS)
