Art Studio Cotswolds, Uk

Project Details

Budget: POA
Turnaround: 32 Weeks
Location: Cotswolds, Uk

Our brief was to design a multifunctional Art Studio / Summerhouse that all of our client’s family could enjoy. We removed the low ceiling of the old workshop to reveal the pitched roof and increased the natural light by installing skylights, large windows and double doors to the front elevation and an additional window to the rear to ensure there was enough light for painting.

The floorboards were painted in a grey tone which will gradually take on a ‘lived in’ appearance adding to the relaxed design style of the space. The studio kitchen / storage area includes stainless steel back panel and a strong colour pop of blue and yellow. We created a lounge area with a log burner at one end of the space. Utilising the height of the pitched ceiling, we designed shelving for our client to display artworks and objects.

The original workshop lights were removed and renovated by a lighting specialist in Birmingham who also ensured that the mechanisms work. It was important to us to reinstate them.

The kitchen come studio storage space includes bespoke joinery with a barn style rail with sliding doors. The large door also doubles up as another drawing / painting surface and can simply be repainted when required.

We inset pots for paintbrushes and art materials with a plans chest below.

We defined the lounge and studio spaces by installing a screen made out of steel and timber, which is also a display shelving unit.
