Damien Hirst Home–Studio

A conceptual house and studio in Worcester

A conceptual house and studio for artist Damien Hirst, developed through drawings, physical studies, and digital models. Angular roofs and triangular forms frame a central courtyard between the living spaces and studio.

From concept to inhabited space

The project develops the geometry of an earlier conceptual cube study into rooms, circulation, and outdoor space. Plans, sections, and hand sketches trace the arrangement of the house, the studio, and their shared courtyard.
