PLATZ
Lab

The Lab is where the objects in MATTER are made, and it was designed by the same logic they are: one volume, one insertion, no decoration. The mezzanine is the single move. It divides the height without dividing the plan, and everything else follows from that one decision.

A working room has requirements a photographed room does not. Surfaces have to survive being cut on. Light has to be honest enough to judge a glaze under. Storage has to be visible, because anything put away in a studio is effectively thrown away.

So the Lab is the least composed space PLATZ has built, and deliberately so. It is a room that expects to be filled with unfinished work, and its quietness exists to give that work somewhere to be seen against.
