斯奎什工作室位于福古岛东端的倾斜小镇外。倾斜最早建于18世纪中叶，以其强大的爱尔兰文化和最近被加拿大公园指定为加拿大国家文化景观区而闻名。

The Squish Studio is located just outside the small town of Tilting on the eastern end of Fogo Island. First settled in the mid-18th century, Tilting is known for its strong Irish culture and its recent designation by Parks Canada as a National Cultural Landscape District of Canada.

斯奎什工作室的白色角形建筑坐落在一条岩石状的海岸线上，可以与意大利的西海岸媲美，这与附近风景如画的倾斜社区的传统乡土建筑形成了鲜明对比。它的建筑师托德·桑德斯(ToddSaunders)对工作室的选址发表了评论，“.它消失了，但很近。”进入工作室最前面的入口是戏剧性的，因为最南端的工作室上升了20英尺以上的地面，与其最北端，即只测量一半的尺寸。

The Squish Studio’s white angular form, sited on a rocky strip of coastline, that could rival Italy’s western coast, offers sharp contrast to the traditional vernacular architecture of the nearby picturesque community of Tilting. As its architect, Todd Saunders, has commented on the studio’s siting, “...it is out of sight, but close.” The approach to the front entry of the studio is dramatic, as the most southern end of the studio rises twenty feet above the ground, in sharp contrast to its most northern tip that measures only half that dimension.

该工作室的紧凑，梯形的计划，扩大了东西部的外墙，以创造一个遮蔽的，三角形的南入口甲板和一个可俯瞰海洋的北露台。从远处看，鱿鱼工作室的流线型变得明显，它的高背和低(压)锋设计，在一定程度上，以偏转风从暴风雪的北大西洋。

The compact, trapezium shaped plan of the studio is augmented by the extension of the east and west exterior walls to create a sheltered, triangulated south entry deck and a north terrace that overlooks the ocean. From a distant view, the streamlined form of the Squish Studio becomes apparent with its high back and low (squished) front designed, in part, to deflect the winds from the stormy North Atlantic.

当我们进入演播室的时候，我们受到了SilkeOto-Knapp的欢迎，他是一位于伦敦的艺术家，也是斯奎什工作室的第一人。当Silke带我们穿过演播室时，高而窄的入口区域的空间压缩让位于主房间的水平扩展。向下倾斜的屋顶将目光引向全高的长方形玻璃窗，集中在圆头的壮丽景色上。

As we approach the entry of the studio we are greeted by Silke Otto-Knapp, a London-based artist and the first occupant of the Squish Studio. As Silke brings us through the studio, the spatial compression of the tall and narrow entry area gives way to the horizontal expanse of the main room. The downward angled roof leads the eye to the full height oblong glass window focused on a splendid view of Round Head.

垂直的白色木板线的内墙被一个有趣的一系列狭小的窗户结合在一起的橱柜。丝绸的快速形象研究在纸上张贴在墙上，以及几个大规模的画布。她很高兴能在这样一个建筑风格的空间里工作，尤其是在暴风雨的时候，她可以感受到大海的即时性，并在某些日子观察该岛天气的剧烈变化。

The vertical white planks that line the interior walls are interrupted by a playful series of narrow windows integrated with an expanse of built in cabinetry. Silke’s quick figurative studies on paper are posted on the walls, as well as, several large scale canvasses. She is delighted to work in such an architecturally inspired space, especially when it is stormy and she can experience the immediacy of the sea and, on some days, observe the dramatic shift of the island’s weather.

和其他同类一样，斯奎什工作室配备了一个堆肥厕所、一个小厨房和燃烧木材的炉灶。电力由独立的太阳能电池板供电，安装在邻近的山顶上.工作室的内部和外部，包括屋顶，都被涂成白色的云杉板。

The Squish Studio, like most of its other counterparts, is equipped with a compost toilet, a small kitchenette and wood-burning stove. Power is supplied by stand- alone solar panels, mounted on an adjacent hilltop. Both the interior and exterior of the studio, including the roof, is clad with spruce planks that are painted white.

晚上，在太阳能照明柔和的灯光下，演播室显得像一盏灯笼或灯塔，战略性地放置在岩石悬崖上，俯瞰北大西洋。在与世隔绝的环境中，人们还可以想象出一个独居的人，脆弱但不受这些因素的影响-灵感在深夜工作，偶尔会被海浪的撞击分散注意力，或者完全沉浸在手头的作品中，这是第一次透过面向东北地平线的乌贼工作室(Squish Studio)的缝隙窗户，瞥见日出。

At night, the studio, illuminated by the soft glow of its solar-powered lighting, appears as a lantern or a lighthouse placed strategically on a rocky cliff to over- look the North Atlantic. In its isolation, one can also imagine a sole occupant, vulnerable but protected from the elements – inspired to work late into the night, occasionally distracted by the crash of the waves, or perhaps, fully immersed in the work at hand, the first glimpse of the sunrise through the Squish Studio’s slot windows that face the north-eastern horizon.
