Natural & Whisper
The word "natural" came from Malangi's Diver in the Tree while "whisper" is from Mueck's Two Women. "Natural" reminds me of trees. Malangi is an Australian artist. His aboriginal art is related to nature. I expect to create an atmosphere which is like covered by canopies so I used the overlapping of curves to enclose the working space, allowing sunlight entering the studio and creating some natural shades. A natural-habitat-like working space will be suitable for him. 

"Whisper" reminds me of a very silent atmosphere, if not a soundless space, that can let me hear everything clearly even it is a  very soft whisper. I made a high ceiling for "Whisper" so that all the noises and sounds created by the upper level will be away. Mueck is a sculptor and sometimes creates giant sculptures. A tall and empty studio will be appropriate.

I have used 2 of the custom textures I made. The appearence of the studio is like a rock. The structure, however, is not a natural element but an architecture.I used a combination of "hard" and "tender" to be the materials for the exterior shell instead of only "strong"/"rigid"/"hard"/"solid"/"rough"/"stiff" materials. I don't want it to be a real "rock"!
