Dirty House
The Dirty house and studio occupy the remains of a public house on a side street in Shoreditch. The majority of openings in the older building have been reused but the proportional balance between solid and void has been altered. Favouring solid, the walls extend upwards to form a parapet on the top floor. The owners were two artists, Sue Webster and Tim Noble, who needed a purpose-designed studio space and a place to live. In order to avoid any sense of tedium through living and working in the same environment, the two types of accommodation are quite separate. The studio spaces occupy the volume of the older building in an en filade arrangement that is entered through a tall lobby. With tinted reflective glass, the studios are private from the street. On the top floor, the living space occupies a central position and is surrounded on three sides by the main bedroom and a roof terrace.
