The Photographer's Studio, Lymington, Hampshire
The Photographer's Studio lies in the garden of a Grade II Listed property in Lymington's town centre. The Client is a portrait photographer but doesn't have the space within the property to provide a studio and extending the property would not be a solution either.
In order for the studio to sit comfortably within the garden, the historic garden walls formed the outer skin of the building. A timber framed structure was dropped within the walls and a corten 'floating' roof was added on top above a band of frameless glazing.
Status: Completed
Main Contractor: South Coast Contracting Ltd
Structural Engineer: R. Elliott and Associates
Lighting Consultant: Joe Burke Lighting Design
Winner of the BLT Built Design Awards 2021 - for Heritage
