3D conceptual image of the proposed new studio.

The basement timbers and old animal stalls had to be removed.

The upper timbers were to remain exposed.

Making a new opening for an overhead garage door.

In-floor heat tubing is laid out ready for concrete over-pour.

New steel I-beams and wood floor joists replace the old timber floors.

Upstairs, the old timbers are power-washed.

New timbers are added to create mezzanines.

New partitions are added and ceilings framed down for…

… insulation and drywall.

The main studio floor also gets in-floor heat tubing before getting…

… new 10″ wide-plank, white oak flooring.

New white oak railings and stairs lead to the mezzanine lofts.

More intimate spaces are created below the mezzanines.

Split fieldstones surround the gas fireplace.

New windows bring in lots of natural light, with a ‘catwalk’ to make cleaning a little easier.
