As
one of the practice’s earliest and smallest completed buildings,
this tiny single-storey workshop and showroom for a classic
car enthusiast nevertheless responds with sensitivity to
a very specific brief and restrictive site. Constructed in
the grounds of a Harwood-built house in Epsom, the workshop
was effectively designed around it’s contents – lathes,
milling machines, etc.. and the spaces needed around them
in order to circulate and operate them efficiently.

Given
the purpose of the building, it was an important requirement
that
measures could be taken to continually monitor and regulate
the humidity of the interior. The brief also involved the
detailed design of the work surfaces, one of which utilises
a rare Bugatti benchleg. |
