Contemporary Garden Studios by in.it studios
UK-based in.it studios have sent us some photos of their contemporary garden studios.

Description from in.it studios:
Modern, eco-friendly and customisable, a Garden Studio is simply an additional room for your home. Not to be confused with a shed, in.it.studios are built using the same methods as a timber framed house and uses 100mm rigid insulation throughout, multiple membranes and double glazed argon filled windows. The Studios have heating, lighting, power sockets and there is even the option to incorporate WC’s, Bathrooms and Kitchens.
in.it.studios’ rooms are designed with Sustainability and Aesthetics at the forefront. The high-end contemporary design is unrivalled through its unique frameless windows and doors and carefully considered structure. Cedar clad Bi-folding doors glide to the side of the studio to open up the front elevation and bring the outside in. Above the doors sits an attractive overhanging cantilevered roof which features eco-friendly Green Sedum ‘living’ plants. A Sedum Blanket is more attractive than a typical felt roof and helps to introduce greenery into what is typically a Garden environment.
Sustainably sourced FSC and PEFC timber ensures that the building’s materials are from well managed forests. in.it.studios is committed to creating environmentally friendly studios and rooms and excludes any use of PVC from its buildings, even down to the rainwater gutter!

How much? to the toilet you must have a sewage plant or you can put your chemical toilet? Permission is needed for installation?
best regards Ivana

Ivana is concerned about the crapper. Well who isn’t? Beautiful, graceful, warm.

When I’m out of college, and my debts are paid off, and my career is well underway, and if in.it Studios happens to still be around, I am so getting one of these built for myself.
Lots of “ifs”, but I’m loving these Garden Studios. Beats the cheesy and clichéd look of most small-footprint houses by far, and it beats the waste and excess of a McMansion. My ideal house, in other words.

Realistically, part of the charm of this house is that it is placed amid greenery and one does not see a another house ANYWHERE IN SIGHT. Change that, and the poem evaporates.

That’s true for pretty much any building, Jat.
Even if in.it’s buildings were butted up right next to each other in a dense suburb, they’d still look quite good. The interiors especially are clean and minimal without being cold and uninviting.
Check the last image in the gallery. It’s sitting among garden sheds in a typical European neighborhood. Still looks like a damn fine place to live.

They look fantastic and obviously exceptionally well crafted. Well done on a great design that considers sustainability. Looks like they already have several satisfied customers!
