The design of new ASTUDIO space combines rustic industrial style with minimalist overtones. UUA's proposal looked to first transform the original two-storey building into a three-storey space. By partitioning the space vertically, the large single space is divided into separate photo studios, each with an independent entrance and dressing room, thereby facilitating simultaneous and independent shooting. The reception area and studio-1 now being on the first floor, with additional working space and studio- 2 occupying the second and third floor respectively.
