Moving In: Our Studio Story

In July 2025, we finally got the keys. Not to a finished, polished studio , but to a space full of potential, dust, and a lot of work ahead.
From the moment we stepped inside, though, we knew. Those arched windows stopped us in our tracks. They flood the space with light, frame the building beautifully, and give the studio a character we couldn’t ignore. It wasn’t perfect, far from it , but it felt right. And sometimes that’s all you need to know.
A Space Worth the Work
The studio needed serious attention. Walls, layout, flow, everything had to be reconsidered. But we fell in love with the bones of the building and trusted the process. Rather than forcing the space to be something it wasn’t, we leaned into what made it special and let that guide every decision.
Those arches became the heart of the studio. They set the tone: calm, architectural, and quietly confident.
Designed for Focus, and for People
Our goal was never just to create a nice-looking office. We wanted a space that feels good to be in.
For our team, the studio needed to be calm and considered , a place where ideas can breathe, drawings can evolve, and focus comes naturally. Natural light, thoughtful zoning, and a pared-back atmosphere all play a part in that.
Just as importantly, we wanted the studio to be somewhere trades feel comfortable bringing their customers. A place where conversations flow easily, materials can be discussed properly, and designs feel tangible rather than abstract. Somewhere professional, but warm. Structured, but welcoming.
What’s Coming Next?
We’ll be officially open to trades from March 2026, once the interior is fully complete.
A key part of this next phase is the addition of our joinery meeting pod. An immersive space designed specifically to experience joinery design properly. This will be a place to sit with clients, explore layouts, materials, and details, and bring designs to life beyond the screen.
It’s all about creating a deeper, more tangible design experience that supports better decisions and stronger outcomes for everyone involved.

More Than a Studio
This move marks an exciting step forward for us. The studio isn’t just a workspace. It’s a reflection of how we work and what we value. Clarity, quality, and collaboration.
What started as an empty unit with a lot of work ahead is becoming a space that truly feels like home. We can’t wait to welcome you in.
