The brief

Turn a cold, leaky garage into a warm, quiet gym that feels like part of the house.

What we built

We insulated the walls and ceiling and raised part of the ceiling so the client could use a treadmill without hitting their head. The room is lined in acoustic timber slats, with rubber gym flooring and a flush hidden door.
