Imagine the perfect place to work. Cooper Joseph Studio have designed a rural writer’s studio in Ghent, New York. The writer’s studio is a place for one person to work, read and listen to music. Open vistas to a pond and fields are to one side, the other side is immersed in deep woods. The overall impression of the structure is deceivingly simple. Each façade is composed with distinct apertures specifically arranged to the light, the views and tailored, like a bespoke suit to his size and eye level. The inside is uncluttered and elegant and unified by the use of walnut. A fireplace (essential for winter), black matte-stained cedar plus copper trim outside, and walnut sink, pantry counter and floors inside makes for a handsome escape.
