When a golfing family in St Andrews, Scotland, needed a contemporary, weatherproof space for sewing and painting, they turned to steel — the modern alternative to timber garden buildings.
Exposed to the elements, their site required a solution that could withstand Scotland’s wind and rain while remaining completely maintenance-free. Timber simply wasn’t an option. Instead, the family chose our COMO 4 steel home office, finished in anthracite grey to perfectly complement their newly built home’s contemporary design.
The studio’s sleek, low-profile structure also ensured consideration for the neighbours, as its reduced height offered a more discreet and harmonious fit than other options on the market. Beyond its practicality, the COMO 4 provided a bright, warm, and inviting space — the ideal retreat for creativity, whether painting or sewing.
The result? A stunning balance of functionality, style, and resilience. The family were “absolutely over the moon” with both the finished installation and the dedicated service delivered by our team.
This St Andrews project is yet another example of how steel is redefining outdoor living. With its cost-effectiveness, durability, and low-maintenance credentials, steel is replacing timber as the smarter choice for homeowners who want buildings that look incredible and perform all year round.
