Dubbed Studio Drop, the tiny green cabin offers refuge for creatives seeking isolation.
On a small island off the west coast of Galway, Ireland, sits one of the latest projects completed by designer Jordan Ralph. The simple, cylindrical cabin—known as Studio Drop—was created for a program commissioned by the European Capital of Culture to provide off-grid studios for creatives.
Perched cliffside on the island of Inis Oírr—the smallest of the Aran Islands—the tiny one-room retreat launched on June 21—the summer solstice—and it will offer residencies for artists through August 2021.
"The core concept for Studio Drop was to design and create a deployable piece of microarchitecture that would land on Inis Oírr and serve as a space for artists to participate in residencies for a week or two in relative isolation," Ralph said in a previous interview.
