Martinborough Artist's Studio
This 10 m2 prefabricated rear garden studio in central Martinborough is built partly from recycled and surplus materials. The space provides a work studio for our client, a designer, and also doubles as a spare room for visitors, with a mezzanine bed.
The studio was constructed over several weeks as seven flat-packed frames and assembled on site in one day before being clad and lined in-situ. The deck is in the form of a drawbridge held by old wrought steel truss hanger and eye bolts set into the aluminium clad slab walls. It hinges through 90° to become a security barrier if needed when the owner is away for an extended period.
The studio was the 2016 Wellington Architecture Awards Winner.
