Now finished, this studio for Jo Angell (www.joangell.com) looks great in the Spring sunshine.  See News on March 26th for more detail.  Jo is designing an amazing canopy fot the Thrive charity garden at Chelsea this year (www.thrive.org.uk) and there was a model of it on the kitchen table yesterday.  It looks fantastic and will look wonderful full size.  If you are going to Chelsea this year make sure you check it out.  Jo is very happy to show people the studio so if you want to know what it looks like give us a call and we can arrange.

Not quite finished but a good example of how our customers impact on our designs.  Jo Angell is a designer of fantastic textiles, wallpapers and other wonderful products; check out her web site: www.joangell.com.  Anyway, Jo wanted lots of light in her studio and opted for meter wide doors and windows in the front wall, slightly larger than the norm.  But they look fantastic and, even on the dull day when we took these photos, there was no need for artificial light.

The studio replaces a huge corrugated iron structure used by the previous owner as a pottery workshop and the neighbours are very pleased it has been replaced with a smaller and much more attractive building.  More photos to come when the studio is finished.

We completed this music studio last year and recently went back to get some better photos. It includes a double layer of plasterboard to reduce sound transmission and the client has added curtains to reduce the sound escaping through the windows and doors. The studio includes a shower room with WC and is clad in cedar. Windows and doors are aluminium clad timber, double glazed and argon filled. The client has been partiocularly impressed with the thermal insulation: “We have the heating on for two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening and, even in the recent cold winter it has never been cold in the studio”.
