German term
Wohnatelier

From an article about a fashion designer. Is there any way to put this in one word? Neither studio or loft are quite right I feel...

live-in studio / live-in design studio
"design" to avoid the ambiguity of the 2 meanings of "studio"

Maybe you could use an "XYZ-cum-XYZ" construction, using whatever terms you like best for "Wohung" and "Atelier"?

: Woof. I just don't like that word in the middle. Unless it's a fashion designer for leather-and-vinyl apparel with metal studs...

I know it's used in a different context as well, but for me it's still a perfectly valid and harmless latin-based English word.

s.u.
can you re-write the sentence e.g. where he or she lives and works
design studio and living quarters in one .... don't know of any single term expressing both -- or studio in his apartment?!

artist loft
I know a potterer who lives in an "artist loft", meaning a factory loft that has been converted into an artist's work space and living area.
Rare opportunity to customize a 2,460 sq/ft artist loft space with 12’ ceilings, 15 huge
windows and city views.
http://www.bostonsrealtor.com/BeaconGroupAd.pdf
Artist Loft Available at 619 Western Ave in Historic Artist Building with over 100 Artists and art related businesses. Very large exposure with Artwalk and many professional galleries in building, possible collaboration.

: Actually, we'd call it an "artist'S loft" (see: www.thefreedictionary.com/artist's+loft), and that would imply that this is a converted factory loft, which may or may not be the case.

I agree with you. It might or might not fit here.

: A potterer is one who potters about all day long (herumwerkeln, -hantieren, -trödeln). The guy with the clay under his fingernails is the potter.

Oops, sorry about the typo. She is a potter of course ;<)

live/work space
It's a hideous coinage but believe it or not, widely used in the property world (which in itself is no recommendation methinks...)
Good luck
DB
also "live-work space" "live work space"...
