This project was done in conjunction with a student led design/build program with the Academy of Art University's Masters of Architecture program. It consisted of a tiny studio, and surrounding landscaping, located on a steep slope at the rear of an existing single family home. The client wanted a small, private space where he could catch up on paperwork, as well as practice his guitar skills without disturbing his growing family. The design for the studio consists of two distinct spaces, with a "hinged" transition space between. The front area--the office--is dropped two steps below the rear music area, to follow the slope. The bend allows the office to take advantage of the distant view to Mt. Tamalpais. The entire structure was fabricated in distinct geometric modules, assembled in the architecture department's shop, then reassembled on site. The reclaimed redwood siding was hand milled by the students.
