This modest building sits on an incline at the rear of a back garden to an end of terrace house. It is visible from the street between a break in adjacent terraces and is a delightful urban surprise. The building is a two-storey artist’s studio that has been created from the upward extension of an existing brick storage building, a working barn, also accessed from a pedestrian lane at the upper level to the rear. The ground floor is formed from the carefully restored original brick structure and is now a library/exhibition/preparation area. The first floor forms the artist’s studio. The care and evident love taken in the restoration of such a modest barn - even in the more minor elements of the original building - to preserve the local history and complement it with a new structure that rests lightly upon it, visually and structurally, is a delight.
