Bully Hill House, a long, linear home clad in Corten steel that we completed in 2019 is in need of more studio space! We’re working with our talented clients to design a new fiber art studio that we’re calling Merino Studio. The space will be dedicated to any and all textile creations – quilting, weaving, knitting and others – in addition to piano rehearsals and soap-making. Merino Studio fosters our clients’ creativity while also having the ability to serve as a guest room. The interior is designed to maximize storage, wall space and room to work, while creating nooks for a pull-out couch and the piano. Merino Studio is designed to reference the existing home and key windows frame views back to the main house. Dark wood siding and a connected breezeway entry help to create a cohesive design that blends well with the existing home, while creating new space for our clients to continue their creative pursuits.
