About Us — craftsmanship rooted in material intelligence
Our studio was founded by woodworkers and small-build specialists who saw an opportunity to bring refined timber craft to gardens and small outdoor projects. Instead of treating garden buildings as throwaway structures, we design them with long-term serviceability in mind: considered junction details, replaceable cladding elements, and access for seasonal inspections. Every project begins with careful observation — wind direction, sun path, drainage behaviour and existing planting — so the building becomes part of the garden’s ecosystem rather than an imposition. We sketch thoughtfully, produce scale drawings, and discuss materials openly, letting clients choose finishes that match both function and aesthetic.
Materials are selected for longevity and reparability. We prefer slow-grown timbers with stable grain and proven durability, and where possible we use reclaimed elements that add character while reducing embodied impact. Connections emphasise mechanical fastenings and serviceable seals rather than permanent adhesives, which means future maintenance or alterations are straightforward. For insulated studios intended for year-round use we detail vapour management, breathable boards and thermal breaks to protect both the timber and indoor comfort.
Beyond fabrication we support clients with maintenance schedules, seasonal care checklists and optional service visits. The goal is not merely to install a building but to ensure it continues to operate as intended: dry thresholds, stable foundations and claddings that allow timber to breathe while keeping weather out. We also document warranties and provide a simple log so owners can track care, repairs and upgrades across the lifetime of the structure.
