Western Studio, a photography Studio in Seattle, USA, was designed by local interior design Studio GoCstudio. Western Studio is a home and Studio designed for clients who love photography and entertaining guests. The 92.9-square-meter open-plan unit is located in a commercial building near Bell Town, Seattle. The goal of the project was to redesign the kitchen, bathroom and sleeping area into a compact multi-functional box, making the rest of the space open to the plan and adaptive.

A row of cabinets, grey kitchen appliances and a sliding wood door front the monolithic box that is clad with stained plywood. The structure faces the unit's open-plan living area that was partially converted into a photography studio during the renovation.To transform the space into a studio, the client proposed building an adjustable system to hold chainmail curtains that could be easily swapped out for photographic backdrops during a shoot.

Vertical metal panels attach to a track on the ceiling, which also features exposed pipes that nod to the apartment building's industrial past.A compact bedroom with felt-covered walls is nestled into one corner of the box. Inside the unit, the bed is stacked on top of wood storage cabinets and a skylight is situated above to light and ventilate the narrow space.

Dark, venetian plastering in the bathroom matches the hue of the stained plywood used on the box's exterior. Fixtures in the confined room include a custom carved Jatoba sink and vanity and a rain shower head equipped with colour changing lights.To add storage and utility space the studio designed a "loft" level above the box structure that can be accessed from a side door or the row of cabinets on top of the kitchen.
