The Treehouse

STONE studio is a creative space on the ground floor of 'The Treehouse', a mid-century house designed in 1969 by Brian Towers of Neaum and Towers Architects. The studio stands quietly at the end of a tree-lined road, with floor-to-ceiling glazing looking out onto a garden of tall firs. Outdoors there is even a table tennis table for when all-important creative breaks are needed. The studio is located near Bournemouth, on the edge of the New Forest.
