Leighton Artist' Colony

The Evamy Studio (for writers)

Designed by
Michael Evamy, Calgary
Floor dimensions:
5.4 metres wide x 4.5 metres long

This "glass house" studio sits in a small clearing surrounded by a forest of spruce and pine facing a gently sloping ridge which forms the wall of a small ravine. The studio offers views along the forest floor. There are skylights overhead and windows in each wall. Each corner is glazed and opened to the sky with a diamond skylight. The balanced use of glass and cedar, juxtaposed with ridge and trees, creates an open but private work space.
