My early concepts and ideas

At first when i looked at the painting i thought it was it had a very serene and quiet atmosphere but as i explored the painting further it gave me a less comfortable, silence before a storm kind of feel. I also found out that Saenredam was a antisocial person that spends all his time in his studio. His painting was also very 'empty' without any liveliness, so the studio i designed for him was very spacious tall and in the form of a church since Saenredam only paints churches i thought he would feel at home if he lived in one.
the spaciousness/emptiness combined with the extremely high ceiling also give the person inside the building a very insignificant feeling that correspond to the feeling the painting gives. It also gives the occupant a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere to work in.
Since Saenredam's painting has a very modern feel but it was painted during 1600s I decided to have 3 spaces one modern, another traditional and the last a combination of the two. the modern space is for him to think and come up with 'modern' ideas for his paintings. the traditional space is for him to use traditional methods of drawing and painting to express his modern ideas.
