Studio & Guest House sits in the woods near Accord in New York, United States, where Neil Logan, Architect reworks two modest structures into a paired retreat. The project turns an existing house and storage building into a dedicated studio and guest house, holding onto their footprints while stripping back interiors to calm, timber-lined rooms.
