LAKE SIDE STUDIO
The structural engineering on this job provides the magic… This stunning studio is supported 2/3 of the way out over the lake. We achieved this by using foundations pads, under the water and a secured galvanised steel base frame as per structural engineers details.
This building was extremely high specification, including; large bi-fold doors, windows and doors all finished in black aluminium suspended over decked viewing platform. This studio even comes with a bespoke 33mm glass viewing panel in the deck. In addition there is also a beautifully simple glass balustrade surrounding the viewing platform.
All our beautiful garden studios are well insulated and therefore can be used all year round.
