The Studio of Bark Design Architects
November 6, 2009 // Architecture + Design





I’m a big believer in the fact that a good workspace can make all the difference in your attitude and productivity. So taking a peak at the studio fo Australian firm Bark Design Architects I’d wager that they get a shitload of amazing work done. The building is made up of steel, glass and plywood and sits elevated upon a hill which has coastal views. The workspace also doubles as a place to stay as well, with areas for eating, sleeping and bathing.

I can only imagine working in a space like this, I’m honestly not sure if I could think of a better place to work in. I love all the natural light, the tall ceilings and the copious amount of room to work in. One day I’ll hopefully work in something at least a quarter as cool as this.

  1. This is pretty nice – I saw it when it was originally posted – but the angled wall and ceiling is kinda driving me nuts. It’s the kind of thing someone would do to make it “interesting.” But, it already has that without trying to make the form more complicated. It has all these great windows, structure, nooks and hideouts and open working space. I get the angled roof, obviously that works best for easy drainage, but in the end the form just rubs me the wrong way a bit – like a student project.

  2. It’s very nice. My wife and I have been working oh our studio. It’s hard work to get something that feels conformable. Our biggest challenge is finding a great way to store our work and supplies.

  5. Wow, this is the studio of my dreams: nice open space, amazing views, cool interiors, all. This is the kind of studio I have in mind when i start dreaming about starting my own studio. But right now I’m enjoying working as a freelance architect on my own version of studio at home.

  6. I think if I worked in a place like this, I’d get NO work done. I’d get too distracted staring outside.

  7. I knew a group of architects who worked in a similar office up in that part of Australia…whenever the surf was good, they’d knock off early and head straight to the beach. I can’t imagine ocean views would be terribly productive either, but it would definitely make for happy workers!

    And michael, the angle of the glass isn’t just arbitrary, it’s perpendicular to the fall of the roof. From a detailing point of view, it makes just as much sense to design the glazing this way as it would to detail the glazing perfectly vertical. Depending upon the orientation of that glazing, it may also make sense from a shading perspective too. Heat gain in that corner of the world is hardly desirable.

  8. je trouve ça assez froid
    et de l’extérieur on dirait une cabane de chantier
    avec de grandes vitres à la place de la tôle
    sinon, c’est bien spacieux pour travailler
