The ground level comprises Mr Doodle’s studio with huge walls for his monumental canvases, plus entertaining space and storage for his artwork and numerous doodle suits. The entrance of the cube is designed so that it lifts up at the corner, as if unwrapping a present, to reveal the workspace.

Hollaway Studio, who also designed Folkestone Skatepark, hope the project will initiate a different way of thinking about buildings and what they represent.Īrchitect Guy Hollaway said: “Our work with Mr Doodle takes the artist’s studio far beyond the concept of four walls and makes something longlasting out of the relationship between art and architecture.” The studio will be a way for Mr Doodle’s art to be used more functionally, allowing art and architecture to converge and inspire each other.

Mr Doddle with this summer's Tenterden installation Sam commissioned local architects, Hollaway Studio, to create a studio to act as a permanent embodiment of his artwork, and sit like a sculpture in the garden designed by his wife Alena. Since creating the Mr Doodle character in January 2015 and donning his trademark doodle suit, he has become globally recognised, selling work to collectors and collaborating with brands such as Fendi, Samsung, and MTV.
