Location

Farmyard Studios is situated in the inspiring landscape of the Cotswold hills and is just a couple of miles from the picturesque villages of Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold. With views over the Windrush valley and a wonderful sheltered garden, this is an ideal environment to escape the distractions of everyday life and concentrate on producing a fantastic recording.

The Studio Itself

From the outside the studio building may look fairly conventional but this is misleading, as it is actually an Eco-building. This basically means that wherever possible it was constructed using environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. To give a few examples of this the studio is built on the site of some old farm buildings so the existing concrete foundations/footings were re-used. Most of the concrete blocks from these old buildings were also salvaged and re-used. The roof timbers are all untreated pine from a sustainable source and most of the doors and windows are either reclaimed or recycled. The studio is also very heavily insulated; this mainly consists of scoured sheep’s wool ( a waste product of the manufacturing industry ).

So, what does this mean to you the customer? Well for one thing all that insulation means the studio is nice and warm in winter and comfortably cool in summer. Also the lack of materials containing various poisonous chemicals
( such as Formaldehyde in most chipboards/plyboards etc ) creates a more healthy working environment. In addition all this simply makes Farmyard Studios even more interesting and unusual

Disabled Access

The studio is just a few metres from the parking area and there are no steps or stairs to climb, this makes life easier for everyone, particularly those with disabilities. There is even a very comfortable, padded wheelchair in the studio.
