In Madrid, Zooco Estudio prioritized simplicity, organic textures, and daylighting to create an artist’s studio for a painter and writer in his fifties. "The client wanted a workshop where he could write, paint, and meditate," architect Miguel Crespo Picot says. "The design is based on ideas about austerity, warmth, having different perspectives, and the notion that having just enough—and not more than what is necessary—is the key to creativity."

Located in Tercio y Terol, a historic suburb in the San Isidro neighborhood of the Carabanchel district, the studio lies on the upper level of the artist’s home. "It’s a quiet, economical area with larger homes near the center of town," says Picot. The firm completely reimagined the home’s upper level, which was dark and compartmentalized with small windows and a thick concrete slab floor.
Located on the upper level of the artist’s home, the studio features built-in cabinetry around a mirror and sink, where the painter can wash his brushes and hands.

The sink area is crafted from smooth stone, warm bronze, tactile wicker, and natural oak.
