The Dovecote Studio forms section of the internationally famous music campus at Snape Maltings, supported by Benjamin Britten in derelict industrial constructions on the Suffolk slide.

Britten was revolutionized by the about abstract landscape of the reed beds at the boundary among the land and the ocean: the ruins of a nineteenth century dovecote sit now on this edge, watching out over the marshes.

The Dovecote Studio inhabits the breaks and carries the inside volume of the Victorian construction as a Cor-ten steel ‘lining’, a monologue welded construction that was made up following to the ruin and stretched out in when perfect. The constructing is fully welded in a individual part, like the hull of a ship, to attain weather closeness, and then accommodated with a easy plywood inside tracing. A big north light roof window allows still light for artists, when a little mezzanine program with a publishing desk incorporates a fully beginning glazed middle window that applies long sees finished the marshes towards the ocean.

The exclusive volume will be applied by artists in mansion (it can control as a easy bedsitting room with a pack kitchen), by instrumentalists as rehearsal or operation place (there is a great beginning door to an connected courtyard), by staff for meetings or as a irregular exhibition place. Just the lowest essential brickwork fixes were executed to stabilize the existing ruin prior to the fresh construction being entered.
