Myrtle Cottage Garden Studio

This small discreet building serves as a space to work, sew, play guitar and sleep in.It is built into the side of a steep hill below an accessible, flat, sedum roof perforated with flat roof-lights. Whilst modest in scale, it possesses a clear and positive presence.

Beautifully and impeccably detailed and crafted inside and out, it is clad entirely in patinated copper sheet externally and lined in vertical oak boarding internally, with limited areas of polished copper. Rough sawn timber panels with crafted recessed handles open up to reveal storage.

Further investigation unearths a compact copper-clad bathroom lit by a carefully located roof light. To the rear a top-lit seating area provides an atmospheric moment in which to pause from the daily grind.
