Khor Studio

The atelier's own room — one long bench, one model table, no private offices.

We fitted out our own unit the way we ask clients to build: slowly, with fewer, better decisions. One 14-metre drawing bench along the window, a model table that doubles as the meeting table, and a materials wall that is our library and our pin-up space.

Everything demountable, everything screwed not glued — the fit-out can leave with us. Four years in, the room still teaches us things about our own drawings.

Design moves

  • One shared bench; no offices, including the partners'
  • Demountable fit-out — screwed, never glued
  • Model table = meeting table, deliberately
  • North window; the lights stay off until 17:00
