Work on my new backyard studio started in November 2011.
Siting was tricky. It is a medium sized town block but I need to maintain as much northerly sun as possible for the vegetable garden. The views from the North corner make this the top spot. I will have to sacrifice some of the garden, relocate chickens to another corner, and lose a little sun in Winter.
The position of the studio in the top North corner of the suburban block.
Holes dug 600mm deep into gravel and filled with concrete, ready to take the piers
A platform is built to raise the studio off the ground. I was after a timber base rather than concrete: an unforgiving surface when standing up all day. Again a raised base was great for views but not so good in terms of shading the vegetables.
The timber frames are erected and I can get a sense of the height of the space
