Harlem Artist Studio / SO-IL
© Naho Kubota Text description provided by the architects. Our design for artist Ghada Amer's studio sits on the ruins of a burned-down church on Frederick Douglass Boulevard in West Harlem. Our intervention involved the adaptation and transformation of the existing structure into a home, art studio, gallery, and social gathering space for Amer and her partner. © Naho Kubota Our intervention both responds to the heritage of the site and boldly signals itself as a singularly modern space for living culture and creativity.
