Hayward Smart Architects have created an innovative conversion of an existing open fronted outbuilding to form a garden studio, which is ancillary to the main house. The agricultural character of the existing structure has been retained, including a tapered circular stone column, and a new lightweight contemporary oak structure has been constructed independently with glazed infills under a zinc roof.

This is a dynamic yet sympathetic solution to converting a redundant outbuilding to provide additional accommodation and to improve the relationship between house and garden
