JWS Studio

Jamie Wolfond Studio’s new base of operation. What started as a bare industrial space was transformed into a conduit for experimentation and design practice.  

The importance of balancing function and aesthetic cannot be overstated in the terms of this project. The ability for the space to function as a traditional workshop is as important as the way the infrastructure looks. 

Every cut, joint, and surface was carefully considered to implement the very functional requirements of the space while maintaining a sense of architectural rationale. Angles are echoed across the studio, as are the proportions, joinery, and assembly details. A sense of cohesion between all the elements from workbenches to shelves is evident.

Designed in tandem with Jamie Wolfond, built solo by Eric Kirwin. A project where the scaffold of the space is as beautiful as the objects that live on it.
