It’s always a special treat being able to take a peek inside an artist studio, particularly when it belongs to the one who’s work always intrigues. British artist and sculptor Anish Kapoor is known for his epic works varying from material-driven paintings to architecturally scaled installations (perhaps this is why we love him so), and now, thanks to Caseyfierro Architects he has the studio to match.

For the past 20 years, Kapoor has been creating enormous sculptures from his studio in a converted dairy factory in south London (one of his best known works ‘Cloudgate’ in Chicago’s is made from polished mirror stainless steel, measuring around 13m and weighing 110 tons – like I said EPIC!)

Five years ago, Kapoor approached Michael Casey of London-based Caseyfierro about renovating his studio and the buildings he had purchased next door, which altogether take up an entire city block. Caseyfierro went about turning the 3,100 square metres of space into a series of six studios that vary dramatically in scale and function. Each space is designed around a specific act – forming, finishing, testing, painting, drawing, documenting & archiving – with each carrying a distinct atmosphere responding to a material or process. As one would expect, each studio space is designed to be highly flexible, having the ability to morph with Kapoor’s practice.

Ka-ching!
