Creation of a new modern studio on the site of a delapidated corrugated tin tabernacle hall
The aim of the project was to create a modern, light, economical space to accommodate Mark Pickthall's graphic design and photography business. Planning was given for the building in a Somerset rural town conversation area.
Key requirements were for the creation of a large open space and large window panels on the Northern side to allow plenty in of natural light. The studio is built around a green oak primary frame structure, with natural products used for insulation wherever possible. The outside cladding is in Western Cedar, sourced from a local managed wood.
