The brief

A garden studio fit for a bake off!

Batch baking and intricate cake decorating require precision, patience, and-most importantly-plenty of space.

The client had been using her kitchen to run her wedding cake business and host cake-decorating classes. Over time, her business began taking over her home, with delicate icing flowers drying across the kitchen. It even reached the point where her husband hesitated to step into the baking zone for fear of damaging something.

The need for a dedicated studio was clear, and Swift Unlimited worked closely with the client to design a bespoke space perfectly suited to her needs.

Design

A bespoke space for baking success

The client’s studio was designed as a practical yet stylish solution to streamline her business operations. Measuring 5.8m x 4.3m, the building was tailored to fit seamlessly into the available garden space.

The design incorporated features essential for a professional baking setup, including:

  • Ample electrical sockets to power various equipment.
  • Superior lighting with Collingwood fixtures, a standard in all Swift Unlimited builds.
  • Running water and a water heater for convenience.
  • Climate control air conditioning to maintain a stable environment for intricate creations.
