Creative space We take a tour of this beautiful bespoke workplace, where function is key

- Robert Hunt

My studio is 100 feet from my house in Northern California, in a building that was converted from a three-car garage by my brother-in-law and me back in 1989-1990. We had moved into the house one day before our daughter Victoria was born in 1986.

My wife Lynn and I wanted to move to a more rural environment from San Francisco, where I began my career. I wanted a studio at home, where I could focus on my work, but be away from the studio when I was in the house with my family. To save money, much of the building material was scavenged from a local medical building that was being remodelled.

The four sides of the studio are laid out according to four functions: light, research, storage and production.
