Itchen Valley Studio is a self-contained timber-framed annexe, built on the side of a handsome Victorian manor house in Hampshire. It has its own entrance, gated parking, and southwest-facing courtyard. The Studio is quietly located on a private road on the outskirts of a village, less than two miles from the Georgian market town of Alresford.
The space is furnished with pieces by contemporary designers such as Faye Toogood, Max Lamb and Malgorzata Bany, modernist chairs by Vittorio Nobili, a Jean Prouvé wall light, and a Dieter Rams shelving system. The art collection includes works by Barbara Hepworth and Roger Hilton.
