A Light, Quiet Space To Create.

Light is the first specification decision

For painters, photographers and makers, the quality of daylight matters more than the quantity. North-facing glazing gives consistent, cool, shadow-free light throughout the day — the traditional artist's choice. South-facing glazing floods the room but changes hour to hour and needs shading.

We can specify additional windows, roof glazing or full-height glazed doors to suit the way you work, and position artificial lighting to complement rather than fight the daylight.

Sound treatment for music and podcast studios

There is a difference between sound insulation, which stops noise escaping, and acoustic treatment, which improves how the room sounds inside. Our timber-framed construction with mineral wool insulation, when selected, already reduces sound transmission considerably compared with an uninsulated garden building.

For music studios we can upgrade to higher-density insulation, resilient bars and thicker glazing units. Internal acoustic panelling is usually fitted after handover so it can be tuned to the room and your equipment.

• Upgraded acoustic insulation to walls, floor and ceiling
• Thicker or acoustic-laminated glazing units
• Solid core doors with proper seals
• Extra power circuits for equipment racks and amplifiers

Storage, ventilation and messy work

Pottery, resin, spray work and printmaking all create dust, fumes or moisture. Plan ventilation early — an opening window is the minimum, and extraction is worth considering for anything solvent based.

Built-in storage keeps the floor clear. We can design around shelving runs, plan chests and worktop heights so the building fits your workflow rather than the other way around.
