Garden Studio in Aldeburgh, Suffolk

With Aldeburgh as their second home, this couple wanted a flexible space that would make their time on the coast even more enjoyable. Travelling up from London for long weekends, they needed somewhere quiet and comfortable to work, while also creating extra space for friends to stay.

With a love of sailing and the coast, they wanted the building to feel at home in Aldeburgh – taking inspiration from a modern fisherman’s hut rather than a conventional garden office. The finished garden room combines a bright, fully insulated office and guest space with practical wood storage tucked away at the rear. They’re delighted with how it has turned out, and it’s already become a much-loved part of their time in Aldeburgh – used for working, relaxing and welcoming friends to stay.
