Studio Creative Ant by Studio Creative Ant

This 30 sqm studio space has been a place for experimenting with shapes, materials, newer techniques, finishes and how well they complement each other. The studio space comprises of 3 levels moving from public, semipublic to private. Level 1 comprises of the entry court, which is finished in darker IPS. This acts like a pause point for the person entering. The IPS texture is typically raw, smooth and seamless as it is created by polishing and finishing the surface. Level 2 is finished in lighter wooden flooring. An IPS finished staircase from this level leads to Level 3. Level 3 comprising of the mezzanine floor is the meeting / private room. The pivoted louvered windows give a view of the entrance through reflection in the mirror on the opposite wall. The window openings on one side allow user interaction at both levels, while the window on the outer face opens up to the balcony, giving the outside view.

The dynamic louver facade facing the west of the studio allows one to filter the sunlight coming in. Each of these louvers are attached on custom made pivots, allowing horizontal movement via a common wooden handle. Various wood textures and finishes were studied while designing this budget friendly louvered facade.
