Light needs to be useful, not just impressive
Large glazing can be brilliant for a studio, but the best position depends on the work you do. Artists may want controlled natural light, crafters may need strong task lighting and makers may need more wall space than glass. We use the brief to decide where openings should go.
Storage and working surfaces shape the room
Materials, tools and finished work can take up more space than expected. Built-in storage, long benches, deep worktops and clear circulation space are easier to allow for before the room is built.
- Natural and task lighting
- Worktop and bench positions
- Storage for tools and materials
- Socket layout
- Wash-up or utility requirements
- Ventilation where required
A calm place to work throughout the year
The Sedgefield studio uses insulated SIP construction, large bifolding doors and wrap-around corner glazing to create a bright workspace with countryside views. Your studio may need a very different balance of light and wall space, which is exactly why the layout should be designed around the work.
Tell us what the studio is for
A few photographs of your current setup can be as useful as a drawing. Show us what you make, the equipment you use and roughly how much space is available, and we can start shaping the room around it.
