Olson Kundig places detachable studio on rail tracks in Washington State

Seattle studio Olson Kundig Architects has created a studio attached to a primary residence in Washington, which sits on railroad tracks allowing it to completely detach.

Called Maxon Studio, the project comprises a two-storey steel structure constructed as an office for the client's branding agency in Carnation, Washington.

The studio was built on top of 15-foot-gauge railroad tracks so that it can either become a "nested" addition to the client's home or move away to become an independent structure.

The client, Lou Maxon, was also the general contractor on the project and worked with Olson Kundig to allow for the studio to move back and forth on the rails.
