Updated: Sep 7
Designed by Chooi-Leng Tan and built by Kew Green, this bespoke garden studio in West Norwood was carefully positioned around an established bay tree. It provides a practical space for working and yoga, while the dark timber exterior. Inside, birch plywood creates a lighter and warmer workspace, while the sedum green roof softens the building’s appearance and helps it blend into the garden.
West Norwood Garden Studio for Work and Yoga
The studio was created as a flexible space that could be used both as a home office and for yoga practice. Its carefully planned layout makes practical use of the available space without overwhelming the surrounding garden.
Natural Materials and a Green Roof
Charred larch battens give the exterior a strong, dark finish that contrasts with the surrounding planting. Inside, birch plywood creates a lighter and warmer workspace, while the sedum green roof softens the building’s appearance and helps it blend into the garden.
Copper Detailing
Copper panels were incorporated into the façade to add warmth and contrast against the charred larch. After dark, the copper catches the studio lighting and gives the exterior a softer appearance.
