The Studio Apex is a modern, light and spacious summer house, a beautiful alternative to the more traditionally designed garden room. With glass to ground double glazed windows either side of the double glazed double doors, the Studio Apex maximizes the use of available light, making it the perfect garden room for relaxing with family and friends or working on hobbies and crafts or as a stunning pool house or gym.
Our great range of optional extras gives you the ability to tailor your Studio Apex to your own style. By adding either the patterned MDF or tongue and groove lining and insulation, your Studio can be used all year round. You can also choose to have your building painted with one of the attractive colour paint finishes. These not only blend well in any garden but also make your building virtually maintenance-free. You can 'top' your building with the popular cedar slatted or cedar shingle roof - a beautiful finishing touch to your Studio Apex.
Choice of Timber Cladding
Choose between redwood, pressure treated, cedar, heavy duty redwood or heavy duty pressure treated. The redwood cladding (both standard and heavy-duty), are pre-treated with a water based preservative inside and out before it leaves the factory. The pressure treated cladding (both standard and heavy-duty), has a long-lasting treatment forced deep inside the timber giving the timber an attractive green hue which complements gardens well. The Western Red Cedar is a beautiful and versatile timber which produces its own natural oils and preservatives making it a durable and rot-resistant species of timber, perfect for a garden summer house.

Choose Your Colours
Customise your building with a range of beautiful countryside colours:
Here is a 10 x 10 Malvern Studio Apex, attractively painted in Willow Green, one of a choice of Countryside colours available as an option.
It's lined and insulated for all year round use. This can be done with an attractive painted MDF board as pictured or with pine tongued and grooved boarding.
The optional laminate floor has also been fitted.
This 10ft wide x 8ft deep Studio Apex is finished externally with our 'Graphite' colour option. The Hickory Berkeley laminate floor choice matches really well and helps make this a fantastic space either as an office, a hobby room, or simply just somewhere to enjoy the garden from in comfort !
This Studio Apex is constructed in cedar cladding with a medium oak stain finish applied to the outside of the timber. Internally it has an optional MDF lining, laminate floor and insulation. The roof is finished with bitumen felt tiles.
Each Studio Apex is built to meet our customers' requirements so external colour, internal lining and flooring choices are always on the agenda.
The Studio Apex is designed with a ridge height of under 2.5 metres so that planning permission is only needed in special circumstances.
This 10ft (wide) x 8ft Malvern Studio Apex is in plain western red cedar cladding and includes red bitumen felt tiles, a deluxe laminate floor in our popular 'Hickory' style, and tongue and groove lining and insulation.
These options work perfectly together to create a wonderful natural garden room - perfect for a garden office, summerhouse or recreation room.
The pavilion version of the Studio has the roof slope running in the opposite direction to the Apex version.
The Studio Pavilion is available in a huge range of different sizes but the 12ft x 8ft model tends to be the most popular as there's plenty of room for desk, chairs, filing cabinet, computers, and the most important item ... the teapot
In this picture the Studio Pavilion includes an optional external paint finish, cedar shingle roof covering, internal painted MDF lining and insulation, and laminate floor.
Double glazed, toughened safety glass is a standard feature with these buildings.
The optional tongued and grooved pine lining inside the Studio Apex is carefully fitted to provide a pleasant working environment. Because the walls and roof are insulated when the building is lined, the Studio Apex will become suitable for all year round use.
We recommend heating the Studio Apex with electric thermostatically controlled convector heaters. You can set these to maintain a minimum temperature when you aren't using the building so that paper and equipment remain at the appropriate temperature.
The internal T&G lining is shown here on the Arley which has half length windows rather than the full length ones fitted to the Studio.
Choose the optional MDF panels, sprayed with a honeydew paint finish, and you choose a hard-wearing and attractive finish for the inside of your Arley or Studio Garden Office. Pictured here on the Arley (which has half length windows rather than the full length windows featured on Studio models). The MDF lining helps create a light and airy feel to this working environment.
When you choose either the MDF lining, or the T&G lining pictured elsewhere in this gallery, the building is insulated too with a uFoil insulation in the walls and roof.
The Studio Apex has chrome fittings as standard, consisting of chrome door hooks, casement stays, hinges and handles.
Two opening end windows are provided with each Studio, additional windows and vents are also available if required.
We are able to offer a selection of attractive laminate floors for our Studio range which, if you choose to have our bespoke fitting teams to install your building, will be fitted at the same time.
Our double glazed Arley and Studio ranges of Garden Offices, whether Apex, Pent or Pavilion style, can all be fitted with an optional integral shed conversion.
In this picture of a 14ft x 8ft Arley Pavilion the shed section (4ft wide in this case) is fitted within the LH side. Pent versions would also have the shed conversion to one side or the other whereas Apex versions would have a rear compartment as a shed section if specified.
Please note that the shed section is not lined or double glazed and this one is fitted with a joinery made single glazed shed window and a solid, framed and braced shed door.
In this picture of a 14ft x 8ft Arley Pavilion other options are the paint finish, internal MDF lining, bitumen felt roof tiles, and laminate floor.
Please note that the amount of the building converted to shed use is up to you but is normally 4ft, 6ft or 8ft depending on the overall length of the building. The shed area is not an extension added to your building, it is part of the original dimensions.
The picture shows the optional bitumen felt tiles. These are available in three colours : black, green or red ( pictured ). They are very hard wearing and provide an attractive alternative to the standard bituminous felt roof.
Our standard cladding on the Studio range is 12mm Deal (pine). This is treated with a wash of quality wood preserver both inside and out before it leaves the factory.
This building is also available with 'Pressure treated' or cedar cladding.
Pressure treatment is literally that : all components of the building are placed in a large pressurised cylinder which forces the preservative deep into the timber. The formulation of the preservative gives our pressure treated buildings their green / yellow hue which complements so many gardens.
Good looks and an extended lifetime are the main benefits of choosing pressure treated cladding.
Cedar is well known for its durability, good looks and quality. With its own natural oils, it lasts for many , many years without rotting although we would advise you to treat it with a good quality wood preserver every couple of years to help maintain its good looks.
Our cedar Garden Offices contain cedar doors, windows and external cladding and trims.
This picture shows the cedar slatted overlap roof finish available for the Studio Apex.
Laid over an inner felted roof this gives double protection to the building and is an attractive addition which will weather over the years to a silver grey colour.
Shown here on our Stanford shed range, the principle is exactly the same for the Studio.
The Studio roof can have pressure treated slats for an extra touch of style at an additional cost. These are laid over a felted inner roof which ensures that it is double weatherproofed!
Cedar slatted roofs are available too. Other options include felt tiles or cedar shingles.
Shown here on our Stanford shed range, the principle is exactly the same on the Studio range.
Each season we take a close look at the range of laminate floors available with our garden offices to ensure they complement the external paint finishes. Here we have 'Hickory Berkeley' for the floor with the external 'Graphite' paint finish.
