Located in a residential car park outside a Melbourne apartment, the studio accommodates storage, a shower room, a toilet and kitchen facilities.

The front of the studio is clad in translucent fibreglass, causing the lights inside to illuminate the surrounding car park.

Small circular windows perforating the white render-covered rear of the structure create peepholes.
