by Allan Wulff, MBA. Ph.D. 05/05/2024

If you're interested in interior design or architecture, it can be helpful to know the basics about architecture studios. Whether you're a professional or pursuing a new hobby, familiarizing yourself with the terminology and tools of the trade will give you an edge.

Here are some of the key facts to explore about architecture workspaces:

What is an architecture studio?

Architectural studios are places where architects can make building designs and landscapes. The architectural studio is an office space reserved for architects who want to develop designs for every kind of structure and its surroundings.

What is a studio architect?

Architecture firms usually offer studio space to their architects. Therefore, a "studio architect" could be any professional architect currently working out of a studio for an architectural or interior design firm.

A firm may have more than one architect working out of a single studio or multiple smaller studio teams. Studio directors typically oversee the studio projects and staff.

How to set up your own architecture studio

If you're interested in architecture and want to set up your own studio at home, there are plenty of ways to do so. In terms of necessary furniture and features, architecture workspaces share many similarities with art studios and home offices.

One of the most important parts of an architecture studio is a drawing space or drafting table. Having a large surface area to spread out your sketches and blueprints for construction projects is essential.

If you work with design software, you'll want a dedicated space for your computer technology, just like in a home office. Make sure you have a comfortable, supportive chair and a desk that supports healthy posture.

Are you ready to create your own architecture studio at home? Keep these tips in mind while you draft and design your ideas to create the perfect creative workspace.
