RECent outbuiLDing project

A Studio / Workplace in the Garden

This is my recent project to create a new building from the ground up. This is a Garden Studio / Office.

It is a timber framed building on brick to damp course. It will be clad in plywood, membrane then cementboard for longevity and low maintenance. Green walls to blend in and a cedar shingle roof to continue the rustic theme.

Internally it will be completed with all round celotex insulation for warmth and comfort, floating boarded floor, and fully plastered walls to create a proper room in the garden.
