Ladder House, Ely

Creation of an artist studio within the footprint of an existing flat roofed garage.

This project involved the creation of an artist studio within the footprint of an existing flat roofed garage, adjacent one of the most interesting building in Ely. Located on the Ely waterfront, the main house used to accommodate the long ladders used to clean the copper vats in the adjacent brewery (since demolished to make way for housing).

Our clients are local artists who wanted to convert their existing flat roof garage adjoining the Ladder House in Ely into a studio. The space was to have plenty of light and incorporate storage for large canvases.

We saw this brief as an opportunity to improve the setting of this beautiful building.
