This garden studio project is aimed to maximise the limited amount of space within the rear garden of a Nineteenth Century terraced house. The presence of a large sliding door and skylight provides ample natural light which highlights the texture of the various internal materials, in particular oak veneer and slate flooring. The use of Siberian larch slats along the external facades relates, with a modern interpretation, to the materiality of the surrounding timber fences whilst also providing maximum durability throughout the seasons. The custom cabinetry creates an efficient use of the limited space, integrating a combination of open bookshelves, enclosed upper cabinets as well as computer storage.
