Feature joinery for the Kitchenette and the TV, entertainment space with birch plywood as the perfect backdrop for our client’s beautiful artwork.
Seamless transition out onto the new deck with plenty of room to entertain both inside and out.
The Studio, has the bed centred on the ridge beam, so we designed a feature bedhead with deep shelves as there was limited space for bedside tables. Sliding doors either side access the wardrobe or the bathroom beyond.
In the completed studio you can see this courtyard space is beautifully landscaped – complete with fireplace. The builder used his creativity within Lockdown so now the Studio and Bach have an amazing outdoor area to share.
