The Design Studio resides in the sky-lit loft of a small barn (see Teiki Barn).  A line of windows connects the southern exposure at one gable end to the view of a brook at the other.  The interior space is divided by display boards into an active side with a computer and a drawing board, and a passive side with books, magazines and a chair for reading.  The exterior is clad in natural cedar siding while the interior is finished with plywood floors and exposed rafters set in a white plastered ceiling.  The loft space of the Design Studio is accessed by a stair suspended from the ceiling of the lower level of the barn.
