Works near completion on a recording studio for a musician in Bath. McCarey Simmonds are responsible for the design and detailing of the superstructure and substructure along with the sub-surface drainage, assisted by drainage specialists gta Civils. The structure comprises of a sedum flat roof supported on a framework of Glulam timbers. The timber, finished to a very high specification is supplied by specialists Cowley Timberwork. The external walls are constructed in Bouyer Leroux BioBric’s, which have very high energy efficiency and acoustic properties. The outer skin is of locally sourced Somerset stone.
The building, which has been designed to a very high standard by Architects WCEC, has been sunk into the ground to limit it’s impact on the surrounding countryside. The large inclined vertical glazing within the main recording studio space gives fantastic views across the spectacular North Somerset countryside.
McCarey Simmonds are now working in association with Martel Design Limited to provide architectural and engineering consultancy services in the Channel Islands and in particularly on Guernsey.
Paul Martel has over 20 years construction consultant experience in Guernsey together allowing us to provide high quality Architectural, Civil and Structural design services backed up by a highly experienced ‘on-island’ team attending client meetings and providing on site technical guidance.
A celebration indeed as David and Brian thank Mr & Mrs Mohoney for becoming McCarey Simmonds’ first paying clients.
Works involved the sensitive ‘change of use’ of existing farm buildings to residential along with the construction of a new residential property within the Mohoney’s land.
