Last Workshop Apartment (LWA)
A workshop has historically been a space of creation, problem solving and escape. The Last Workshop Apartment (LWA) seeks to explore the potential of a contemporary interpretation of the workshop as a space for living. The space provides varying levels of enclosure, separation, light and volume for the users to experience. The construction and fit-out of LWA with metal sheet, steel pipe, exposed conduit and sheet timber made subtle references to the workshop theme. Automotive fabrication techniques such as pipe/ sheet bending, welding/grinding extend this theme through to the smaller details. Junctions are intentionally left raw with welding marks, burrs and grinds adding character and reinforcing the industrial aesthetic.
