Coated galvanized panels with embossed designs this building, built partly over a stream, is the study of an artist and is located on the west coast of Scotland.

Designed by Studio Weave, Midden Studio is a building perched on the coast of Britain, resting on the ancient structure of a dunghill that collected the manure of the nearby stables in the Victorian period.

The artist is very attached to the site and much of his practice is associated with peoples and places, so the architects fused the studio with the landscape. Recalling at the same time the nearby agricultural vernacular constructions, the granite rocks that dot the landscape, and the flourishing of the 'Scottish Baronial' style, the new studio intends to immerse itself in silence in this ancient landscape, revealing its surreal details upon closer examination. watch out: the overhang apparently floating above the creek, the eerie twin pediments and the echoed stone moldings.

Midden Studio is the lovechild born between granite and local buildings. Half a fantasy creature with moldings and gables; half hard, freckled and elementary. The granite rock surrounding the studio echoes the ashlar zinc. The studio is next to the Allt ant-Sionnaich, a fast flowing stream, a glazed surface allows the artist to see through the work surface the water flowing below, the building is filled with the sound of water throughout the year.

The diamond ashlar cladding model derives from the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, from the Church of Gesù Nuovo in Naples, but the austere south facade is inspired by the Crichton Castle in Midlothian.

Structurally, the studio was designed to withstand the extreme conditions of the site, and the raw zinc will age with dignity, remaining well in tune with the landscape over time. The interior is as welcoming and clean as possible, to facilitate the artist's work.
