Tranquil artist's studio in the Chilterns

Sophie is an artist who lives in the countryside on the edge of the Chilterns. She commissioned a studio in one corner of her garden to paint, relax, and enjoy the views. The project included plumbing in a sink for washing brushes, an octagonal seat around a neighbouring tree, and picture windows looking out over the fields. This has been one of our favourite projects. The building has a graceful shape that flows around the changing shape of the garden boundary, with a healthy portion of interesting angles and carpentry challenges for us to enjoy. Sophie loves the result, as do her daughters who immediately saw the potential of the studio as a great place for parties.
