todd clark studio

     Sleek and contemporary in expression, the studio sits in compelling juxtaposition to the house.  The marriage of rustic traditional and modern styles is unexpected yet intentional.

     "We were hoping to add a second storey to the existing studio (once a goat barn)" Todd notes. "But structurally it wasn't possible, so we had to demo it and rebuild."

     This gave him free reign to design the studio of his dreams and consequently it has a more contemporary look and feel. 

     "We wanted something completely different from the house," he says.  "The intention was to have extreme everything when it came to detailing." 

     On that note, aside from the large glass garage doors, there are very few extraneous window, allowing Todd lots of wall space and a streamlined aesthetic.  Clad in galvalume metal, the industrial looking space feels very expansive at nearly 700 square feet per floor. It's an ideal artist's loft, a textbook framework from which to create his sumptuous and fluid landscapes.
