The concrete painters studio by Felipe Assadi is set into the peak of a hill overlooking the ocean. It’s located next door to a larger residence designed by the same architect, creating a space that separates work from home for its occupant. It’s intended to be used solely as a studio space, although it could double as a guest facility as needed. This artist’s studio is hidden from view on the approach from the street. From one angle, the structure appears to be a concrete landscape feature, with planter boxes lining its rectangular form. From another angle, its true nature reveals itself. A stairway descends into the concrete painters studio, keeping the entry door out of sight from every other angle. Passing through the painter’s studio, a floor-to-ceiling glass wall opens into a small patio that overlooks the ocean. As the artist pleases, an easel can be set up here for a clear view into the coastal nature around it. It’s an inspiring place to paint, and it’s among the most remarkable artist’s studios we’ve seen in recent years.
