This is Alexei's undergraduate second year student project which was nominated to be publicly presented at an awards show hosted by the university.

The Wildlight Studio is a unique photography space in Hippo Wood, Derbyshire, designed to blend seamlessly with its woodland surroundings.

The elevated structure offers panoramic views while minimizing disruption to the forest floor.

Inspired by the nearby steelworks yard, the studio incorporates industrial elements like steel wires, reflecting the character of its surroundings.
The design pays homage to architect Richard Rogers, emphasizing exposed structural features.

The studio’s layout ensures functionality and aesthetics, providing photographers with the ideal environment to capture and develop their work while preserving the natural landscape.
