SUBURBAN STUDIO LONDON, LONDON, EN11BT, UNITED KINGDOM, ARCHITECT RIDDLE STAGG, A studio located in a typical Victorian suburban garden. A main facade floats above a glass panel and forms a screen to separate the working area of the studio from the domestic garden. The materials of the studio make reference to the suburban context; timber cladding echos domestic fencing corrugated aluminum refers to inter-war prefabricated garages and a former Anderson shelter. The studio is super-insulated and benefits from a sedum roof; heating is provided by Apple Macintosh computers with very occasional recourse to underfloor heating. The main facade is unsupported on its full length and rests on cantilevered side walls. The wall construction is entirely from stressed ply composite panels with no hidden steel supporting frame
