Sited in the garden of a listed London house, two small existing garden sheds have been reconfigured and refurbished to create a studio and greenhouse

The two derelict building forms have been treated as found objects and modified with modern interventions.

Frameless window and door openings appear as voids through the brick enclosures, and the roof planes of timber and glass sit inside the external walls. Spatially, the sheds separate two zones of the garden, and loosely enclose a paved space between them.

Windows positioned on one end of each building frame views across this patio, visually connecting the two building envelopes and the interiors that they enclose.
