The former task embodies the development of a welcoming pavilion-like structure that is [situated on a lake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ely-retreat) and houses a bedroom, a bathroom and a small kitchen. The latter structure boasts a redesign of an 18th-century farmhouse. The [ruin-like aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-horns) of the artist's studio is apparent with the combination of brick and weathering steel which instills an old-timey character and a handmade quality. Carmody Groarke connects the two pavilions with the subterranean passage that is not only a childhood novelty but also a means of offering "a very special and secluded experience."
