Long Barn Studio / Nicolas Tye Architects
Nicolas Tye Architects‘ newest studio neighbors the practice’s barn-conversion residential project. For their newest office space, the 2,200 sqf barn has been transformed into an elegant studio that rests comfortably against the rolling hillside of Bedfordshire. Taking a mere 10 months to finish, the studio houses Nicolas Tye’s employees. Serving as a manifesto of the studio’s beliefs, the building respects its contextual surroundings while demonstrating a contemporary identity.
More about the studio and more images after the break.
The building is a simple glazed rectangular unit with frameless 3.2m high glazed panels along its main elevations, which hold a very slight green tint to reflect the seasons. The building is capped at both ends with full height larch cladding, and a series of larch timber “pods” house meeting rooms, a library, and a printing area.
On a sustainable note, the studio utilises rainwater harvesting, has its own wind turbine, and uses an air heat recovery circulation system.
“With a build cost of £225,000, the building mirrors a sensitive, but provocative response to modern design, sustainability and the contextual issues of today.”

nice work.. cud we see the plan???
Nothing new, but very professional and clear. Good work!
I like the simplicity and openness of the building.
But I wonder if the people working opposite the windows will have problems with glare on their mac screens. I think the architects should have thought about the needs, desires and wishes – the concerns – of the users of the office space a bit more.
Presumably, since it is their own studio, this building is entirely emblematic of the “needs, desres, and wishes – the concerns – of the users of the office space”.

Finally! A disabled restroom that looks good. I am not quite sure if the huge glazing assures thermal comfort, though.
that has to be one of the most luxurious bathrooms i’ve ever seen in a small office. i’d spend 1/2 the day in there.
What for? You are a robot.
