Open Studio is a Melbourne-based architectural practice established by Britta Klingspohn and Heribert Alucha in 2005. The studio works with different scales and typologies but has a special interest in bespoke residences and artists’ studios. Many projects are located in heritage sensitive areas or in fragile natural environments where a considered analysis of context and site is critical. While Open Studio does not have a predetermined style, there are key themes that permeate the work, such as simplicity, natural light, a sense of place and materiality
