A small spaces project, low cost and very effective, relaxing flowing water separates the garden from the wider area leading to an enjoyable peaceful garden.

The client approached us after we completed the refurbishment of their main property, as featured in House & Garden. The new brief called for a stand-alone structure in the garden, which could house two artist studios for the couple, both of whom are artists. It also needed to double up as a guest house. It was important for the client to have a structure, which was sensitive to the overgrown vegetation and retain – as well as enhance – the wild natural feel of the garden. Internally, there are three distinct spaces – middle and two flanks with two wash rooms. A working fire and a kitchen in the middle space create the hearth, which has views to the main house and back towards a small lit courtyard pulled away from the rear garden wall of the property.
