Studio Drop is an architecture and design project, originally commissioned by the arts organisation Drop Everything for Galway 2020, European Capital of Culture.

Designer Jordan Ralph and a team of Drop Everything collaborators have designed and built an off-grid artist studio space on the remote and beautiful island of Inis Oírr.

The studio will launch on the summer solstice, 21 June 2021 and host a summer of creative residencies through until August.

The Studio is a cylindrical structure, with a window looking out to sea, designed as a space to think, read, write, and develop ideas. Interior design features include a hammock style daybed made from a trawler net washed ashore during a winter storm, salvaged by local fisherman.
