SHED STUDIO
This shed, originally designed for two cars, becomes a comfortable open plan studio for two creative professionals, with loads of natural light and insulation, and a recycled brick floor.
The existing open plan structure is newly clad in weathering steel to transform into a garden element and the interior is complete with hardwearing, textured materials providing protection from the elements, including a raised floor above the recently experienced flood line.
All of the windows have patterned glass, providing informal privacy for the interior while maintaining natural daylighting and visual connections to outside.
