Return to case studies
Peter Wright decided to move from
Portsmouth to Mid Devon where he could work in a home office from home. After finding a suitable property near Okehampton
with a large garden, he started his search for a suitable
timber garden building. Peter is self employed writing educational
resources. He therefore needed a timber garden building which he
could divide into separate rooms to create office space as
well as a seperate reception area. Much of Peter’s time is spent
working at a computer so he was delighted to find that with a John Shields
Woodwork timber building he could have large picture windows to
take advantage of the beautiful views of the Devon Countryside. Having
looked widely for a suitable building he decided to use John Shields
Woodwork because the company was local to his area and
offered a complete service including planning, site visits, base
work, supply, delivery and erection.
The highest standards of insulation and
double glazing were particularly important factors in the design of the
building. The office that Peter ordered included insulation in
the floor, roof and walls. Furthermore, the double glazing and
security locking windows provide a very suitable working
environment. Peter was impressed that all external timber
was pressure treated. Peter chose a green plastisol box profile
steel roof and black PVC guttering.
The interior finishes of the studio has a
hardwood plywood floor, 12mm MDF boarding on the walls and
tongue and groove pine on the ceiling. All the door furniture
is brass and all the external fixings are all galvanised to stop rust. A
veranda 1.2m wide has been included to provide a recreational
area and to give added protection to the doors and windows from the
elements.
