STUDIO 7 (1990-99)

GOING ALL IN

After some years in the glowingly hot Studio 5 on the 3rd. floor in the leased room on Gammel Kongevej 47B, I desperately needed a bit more space and facilities.

I wanted to stay in the building, but getting the lease of the 1st floor was not easy and took a lot of persuading of the previous tenant – a fur maker. But we finally agreed to a solution, where the takeover should happen in 2 steps.

The first step included some 50 m2 of the full lease, where the studio was first moved. You may check that version 6 of the studio here.

Something like a year later, the fur maker finally relocated, and I had access to the full 230 m2 space – almost quintupling the previous space. It was time to think bigger thoughts. My assistant Lars Chr. Nielsen (also called “Larry”) was a skilled carpenter, and offered to help me constructing the place. It was basically one big room, so a lot of walls and insulation had to be put up to make a studio out of it.
