The building is orientated on an east west axis with glass along the southern face for maximum solar gain. There is a hemlock deck on the southern side running the length of the building.

This artist studio is just steps off the old mill stone quarry road and minutes to the quarry where mill stones were cut when grain was the staple crop in the region. The foundation for this studio is a re-purposed concrete water cistern that at one time pumped water from the mountain creek to the hunting cabins nearby. The studio now sits atop the cistern overlooking the mountain laurel groves.
There is a wood stove in the studio set on Shawangunk conglomerate, the fragments from the millstone days.
