"This studio for the English artist Antony Gormley is located amid the industrial buildings, warehouses and rail yards just north of London's Kings Cross station.
Attempting to create light and ope spaces for the diverse and specific ways in which the artist works, the building provides studio space for drawing, painting, sculpting, welding, casting and photograsphy.
....
With the increasing interest in his work, Antony Gormley required a space that would be large enough to construct his often huge installations, yet at the same time would also be somewhere intimate and personal enough in which he could conceive his next artistic projects.
....
Looking to satisfy both of these requirements, the design of the studio references and abstracts the large scale industrial vernacular of the surrounding buildings. The building is distinguished by the silhouette of its pitched roofs and its bright ben even interior light.
Located to the rear of its site, the studio building itself is approached across al large yard, left open for the assembling of bigger pieces. A pair of galvanised steel staircases connects this yard to the domestic-scale studio and office areas on the upper floor.
Operating as both a workshop and as apared down, white-walled studio space, the building is the focus for all of Gormley's artistic production, and sensitively yet pragmatically edifies a collaborative effort between artist and architect." (bron: David Chipperfield Architects)
