Art has a power of influencing us, intervening into our emotional selves and everyday routines.
Such intervention was also imposed upon the Jackson’s Garage, a 1937 granite entity from Aberdeen, housing a mix of functions in an unorganized manner. The introduction of artists spaces, and an art gallery considered in the brief created a stark contrast, which was then emphasized through the insertion of a void. An organisational grid, overlaid and juxtaposed with the current structure, created a coherent way of bringing the new into the old.

In the new extension, division into three zones is made. A big individual studio space with internal adjustable partitions is supported by a communal studio space, allowing bigger formats to be presented. A communal facility area brings above together.
