ARTIST’S STUDIO
IN LISBON
The architect Miguel Marques Venâncio converted an
industrial building in a yard of the Lisbon city centre
into a studio for an artist friend. With a small budget
but with plenty of creativity, imagination and ambi-
tion, a striking working loft for taking photos, painting
and moulding resulted. Venâncio’s most important
“construction material”: the light.

whose upper floor is accessed via a lateral external staircase. This is
where Miguel Marques Venâncio has designed a modern studio for an
artist friend. It simultaneously and ingeniously serves as a photogra-
phy-, ceramic- and painting studio, a library and an office. The latter
is a glass cube on a pedestal in the middle of the room. The glass
panes are inserted in a black steel frame which gives the construction
an industrial character. A wide sliding door acoustically shields the
room from the surroundings if needed. Around the office cube, the
wardrobe, kitchen, WC, archive and ceramic workshop, photo studio,
make-up corner and changing room as well as the library and the
painting studio are freely arranged clockwise in the large space as
rooms or open areas. Special visual highlights in the room are the
white cyclorama of the photo studio as well as the rooms with the WC
and the office kitchenette separated with walls consisting of glass
blocks. Both elements are detached from the floor with a shadow gap.
Light which directly shines into the glass-block walls from below and
above literally makes the cubic modules glow in a mysterious way.
The architect’s play with light as the material light culminates in the
design of the skylight of the reception area. Gently waved metal mesh
here gives the sunlight incident from above an unexpected physicality.
