Sustainable studio space heated by Herschel

Background

This fantastic sustainable studio space, created and built by Okopod, measures 70m2 and has been designed to provide a gorgeous, airy studio space for a ceramic artist in Cambridge. Built in 2023 for Katharina Klugg, ceramic artist, the studio has been finished with a beautifully sleek and contemporary aesthetic throughout.

Solution

The studio space uses cutting-edge technologies, including infrared heating that has been seamlessly ceiling-mounted to maximise floor space and deliver cosy radiant comfort. The result is a gorgeous interior working and living space. Finished using a combination of natural products including eco-friendly insulation material and timber, and sustainable technologies like infrared heating panels, the modular, timber-framed studio is a great example of sustainable building practices.

Testimonial

"We chose Herschel infrared heaters because they’re ideal for how the studio is used" Okopod

"We chose Herschel ceiling-mounted infrared heaters because they’re ideal for how the studio is used. In pottery, the temperature and direction of heat are crucial, as uneven heat can affect how clay dries. Ceiling-mounted heaters create a consistent, balanced warmth throughout the space while keeping the walls free for storage and displaying work."
