Judd Foundation Studio at Las Casas Ranch House Restoration

Located at one of the ranch houses on the Ayala de Chinati ranch in the Chihuahuan Desert near Marfa, the Art Studio Building was Donald Judd’s last installed art studio space. The restoration work for the 600 SF simple pole-shed building integrated passive heating and cooling strategies, rebuilt the existing skylights and replaced the original collapsed roof structure. Work had to be planned carefully because the remote site greatly limited the material and machines available to execute the project.
