Full of unique and colourful details, this modest but striking house and studio for artists Kati & Nigel was designed to frame three gardens. The new build replaces an existing cluster of garages. Beginning with the commitment to retain three existing trees on site; a lime, a birch and, a plum; these three gardens became focal points of the design. The building was formed around these garden zones, with each relating to different parts of the house and studio.
