The Pea Hut
A hut. An art studio. A home office. A climate refuge. Built in 4 months for $35k, this is a demonstration of my philosophy of comfort and energy efficiency.
By mid 2023 I had been working as a home energy assessor but lacked any hands-on construction experience. So when my daughter dreamed aloud of an art studio space, I ran with the idea. I was also frustrated by the coldness of my house in winter, even after all my efforts at rectification. Here was an opportunity to do it right - to make a truly comfortable and efficient space from the ground up.
This is not professional advice. Always follow relevant regulations and follow manufacturer’s installation instructions. In particular, the way I have used wood-fibre board on the roof voids the supplier’s warranty.
Here is a sequence of photos of the construction.
