Wimbledon garden studio, Wimbledon, London SW19: the finished building

The brief

A studio for a musician at the bottom of a long Wimbledon garden that backs onto the railway. It had to be quiet inside, solid enough to take a piano, and sit on a paved terrace the owner was laying at the same time.

The site

A 30 m garden with the railway cutting immediately behind the rear fence. Everything came through a side passage by hand. The ground screws were installed before the paving, so the terrace could be laid up to the building.

What we delivered

A 5.6 m studio erected in a day, with the closed-panel walls and basalt wool insulation giving the sound reduction the brief needed. Turnkey finish inside; narrow vertical cladding and sliding glazed doors outside.

The result

15.6 m² of studio photographed from the frame going up through to the finished building sitting under the trees, seen from the top floor of the house.

  • Closed panels with basalt wool for sound as well as heat
  • Sliding glazed doors
  • Ground screws set before the paving
  • White single-ply flat roof
  • Photographed frame to finish

The build

From our own site records: the shell going up and the fit-out before handover.
