The first studio to be finished in 2010 was the 131-m² Long Studio to the north of the Joe
Batt’s Arm community, also close to the Fogo Island Inn’s site. Perched on a seaside and
stretching toward the water, this is one of the largest studios in the Fogo Island scheme
and it references in shape traditional seaside buildings and fishermen’s houses in the area;
these visual quotes were crucial during Saunders’ work at the Fogo Island project.
Made locally, mostly out of wood (exterior rough-sawn spruce and interior spruce planks)
and standing on pillars, the structure’s overall shape incorporates a mix of internal and
external areas.
