As well as being designed to capture the water views, the weaving studio has a well-thought-out passive day lighting design, that brings the afternoon light deep into the structure.

The professional studio serves as a gallery space as well as a working studio, as well as a place to hold meetings and conduct workshops for weavers. It is a place to be inspired.
