As a reminder, here are the two projects that inspired the basic shape of The Artist’s Studio: Rooftop Artist’s Studio by The Thomases, seen in the second gallery in this link and Nell Corkin’s Summer Studio, created in tiny 1:144 scale.
Using some spare strip wood, I mocked up four versions for the front window to see what worked best. These photos were taken before a lot of the recent work was completed, so it might look a little off. :D
Wide vertical sections with roughly equal panes
Wide vertical sections with three sizes of panes
Wide vertical sections with tall upper panes
Narrower vertical sections with tall upper panes
The building will be red, and I was planning on painting this window Warm White. This window will also be removable. I took a friends and family vote, and they chose the wide vertical sections with tall upper panes, and I concur! :D
I think it’s a good balance with visual interest without being overwhelming.
Now to actually build the thing… :\
