Designer Wins International Design Award in Architecture for Rehoboth Beach Artist's Studio
Rehoboth Beach, DE (PRWEB) May 03, 2016 -- Shawn Ewbank, Delaware-based designer, has won a prestigious A' Design Award for the Fisher Artist’s Studio and Gallery in Architecture, Building and Structure Design Competition.
The Fisher Studio was selected as one of the winners by the esteemed referees of the A' Design Awards & Competition from thousands of submitted works.
About the Fisher Studio
The new Fisher Studio is located on a large, verdant property in composition with the client’s existing home in Rehoboth Beach, DE. The building was created for artist, Gary Fisher, and functions as a professional studio for making art, a gallery for exhibiting paintings and hosting receptions and provides a retreat from the main house. One of very few modernist structures in the region, the building is intended to be both sculptural and ecologically sensitive.
Gary Fisher, an established painter and avid gardener, inspired the project with his vision to create a building as an artwork to arouse his creative impulse and provide the freedom to paint without intervention. His artwork is on display in several galleries including Gallery 50, Rehoboth Beach Delaware; [blank] Slate Gallery, Sarasota, Florida; and Wright Gallery Hawaii, in Kona, Hawaii.
