Atelierwoning Aguirre

When it comes to the artist’s studio and dwelling that the architects Haverhals-Heylen designed for the artist Philip Aguirre, you might well ask where it is good to live. In a home designed for that purpose? Or in a studio? Or vice versa? In practice it turns out that the occupant-artist swaps house and studio depending on the season. And also on the sort of thing he is working on. But the essential thing is that the architecture of the home and the studio are a match for each other. The enormous freedom the basic fabric of this home and studio brings with it creates an architecture of promise, of potential.
