ARCH_EM FRANKLIN STUDIO
YOGA STUDIO // AUSTIN // 2009
A yoga studio and workspace for a physical therapist in the backyard of her home. We invented a ‘small box with a big hat’ strategy. The polygal walls let in plenty of natural light while a big wrap-around porch and breezeway create a buffer from the sun. We also explored a traditional Japanese technique of preserving wood siding by burning the surface of it (‘shou sugi ban’).
