MOS Architects have created the new studios for art, architecture, graphic design, and photography of the Krabbesholm Højskole school in Denmark.

Architects Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, from the studio MOS Architects, have developed the extension of Krabbesholm Højskole, a project of related areas through courtyards and in-between spaces that together with the use of big windows connect interior space and nature.
 

Description of the project by MOS Architects

Krabbesholm Højskole was looking to expand and relocate their studios for art, architecture, graphic design, and photography within the school’s historic campus. The arrangement of the new studios creates a series of informal courtyards and in-between spaces, with large windows and covered porches that foster an openness with nature while providing opportunities for social and visual interaction.

The shared studio porches are filled with chairs and tables for casual conversation, offering a series of discrete places to hang out. The thin and elongated proportions of the studios allow for views through them, collapsing the field of vision and producing a visually interconnected space for the disciplines and their work. Clad in industrial cement rainscreen panels, the new studios relate to both the sixteenth-century buildings on the campus and the large industrial buildings nearby.
