old garment factory is converted into Bali's newest creative studio
once an abandoned garment factory, ‘kinship studio bali’ is a newly renovated collaborative work-space that has opened its doors to creative individuals on the colorful Indonesian island. the new studio's connection between old and new has been successfully brought about through a close partnership between the client and architect. the client specified that the resulting space should include a number of functions, including private offices, an open-plan co-working space, a photography studio, a cafe and a mixed use area.
with a modern, industrial aesthetic in mind, the client's taste in style and ideas is combined with the architect's specialty in low-waste construction methods to produce a comfortable space that encourages creativity and collaboration. the architect, who was also the on-site project manager, was able to work with the client on site regularly to choose all materials and finishings. this ensured that the client's defined creative concept was properly translated through the construction and architecture
old walls have been knocked down and used as foundations for the private offices, while glass panels were carefully removed and reintegrated as new windows. plastered walls that had started to bubble and chips have been sanded down to reveal a variety of colors and textures, later combined with freshly polished cement walls - this emphasis of reminding users of the old factory was vital throughout the introduction of new elements, a concept respected by both client and designer. ultimately, kinship studio has brought life back into the shell of an abandoned 20 year old factory, converting it into one of Bali's most unique workspaces.
the project was able to respect the existing structure while introducing modern offices, an open plan co-working area, a conference room, a photography studio, and a small cafe. the new bathrooms simply replaced the old ones by following existing plumbing and electrical plans, so as to minimize the installation of any new pipes and cables. the client's choice in light colored furniture, decoration and the inclusion of greenery brings warmth and life to a modern space, encouraging users to interact and collaborate with other visitors.
