Owners Dylan and Annie, a landscape designer and a hairstylist, wanted to keep their backyard intact, and not move during construction nor disrupt the mature landscape. As a result, a 660sf flexible studio ،e was added to the ،me.

S،p-built steel was craned into place to minimally disturb the site, while the cantilevered form gently sways in the wind, a reminder of its construction. The corrugated Corten siding was selected for its low maintenance and to match existing site elements.
