Atelier Brenner

One open floor with good columns and bad light. We added very little: a wall of oak storage, a kitchen, and lamps where the looms needed them.

The site in Copenhagen set the terms before we drew anything. The warehouse is listed, so nothing touches the columns or the ceiling.

Storage does the planning. A single run of cabinets divides making from showing.

We worked from a 1:50 model for most of the design stage and kept it on site through construction. Where the model and the drawings disagreed, the model usually won.
