Atelier

An “atelier” (at-l-YAY) – from the French for “carpenter’s shop” – is a workshop or studio.

Example (as used by Mordecai Richler in Barney’s Version): “A garage in Montparnasse served as Leo’s atelier, and there he labored on his huge triptychs, mixing his paints in buckets and applying them with a kitchen mop.”
