Dedicated study
A room that does one job — a door that seals, one wall of storage, and a desk sized to your body. The version that actually gets worked in.
A study is not a corner of the bedroom with a table in it. It's the one room designed around a single activity, where the furniture has to fit your body rather than the floor plan.
Where the window is, which hand you write with, whether you take calls, how many books you actually own. Get the desk height wrong by 40mm and your shoulders know within an hour.
Standard desk height
Minimum desk depth
Light from the side
Fewer things,
better placed.
A study only earns its door if the details are right — the ones your body notices by lunchtime even when your eye doesn't. These are the six that decide whether you actually work in here.
Cable routing
Managed to the desk
Power, network and monitor leads run through a chased spine to the desk, so nothing tangles round your feet or drapes down the wall.
Power points
Enough, at desk height
We plan sockets and a data point at the desk before the wall closes — laptop, monitor, charger and lamp without a single extension lead.
Acoustics
Softened for calls
A small hard room rings on every call. A rug, a soft board and a sealing door take the echo out before it reaches the mic.
Ventilation
Fresh air by the hour
A closed study with a person and a machine warms up fast. We keep an openable path so the room doesn't go stuffy by mid-afternoon.
Glare control
Screen kept off the window
A blind on the daylight side tames the harsh hours, so the monitor never turns into a mirror at three in the afternoon.
Shelf load
Wall checked before fixing
A wall of books is real weight. We fix into something that holds it and size the spans so nothing bows by the second year.
A room that does one job — a door that seals, one wall of storage, and a desk sized to your body. The version that actually gets worked in.
A working room by day that folds out a bed for the fortnight the family visits — so it earns its floor the other fifty weeks of the year.
No spare room? A desk and shelves carved into a living or bedroom wall, zoned by light and a change of finish rather than a door.
Daylight from the side in the morning, a warm task lamp by evening, and a low ambient layer for the last hour. The lighting is planned for the whole working day, not just noon.
Every study we build gets one wall of storage and nothing on the others. It reads as spare because the room is — and that's exactly why work gets done in it.
Open shelving is easy to draw and easy to overload. We size the depth and the spans to real books and real files, so the wall holds the weight without a sag by year two.
300mm shelves for hardbacks, not just paperbacks
Spans sized so nothing bows under load
Closed base for the things you'd rather hide
A ledge for the objects, off the work surface
Tell us the corner you've got, how you work and what you own — we'll come back with a layout that fits your body, not just the floor.
It's the only room in the house with nothing extra in it. It's why I get anything done.
