Read the passage: Design brief: a timber garden studio
A secondary school wants a small timber garden studio (4.8 m × 3.6 m internally) for art classes. The design team proposes: ground screws instead of a concrete slab; a timber-frame floor, walls and mono-pitch roof using C24 spruce studs at 600 mm centres; 150 mm wood-fibre insulation; untreated Irish larch cladding on battens; a breathable membrane; and a large north-facing window for even daylight. The studio must be easy to dismantle and relocate in the future.
