Miles Gilmore is an architect in Northwood, Middlesex. When his wife, Susanne, decided it was time to launch her own designer fashion label he ﬁxed her up with her own studio in the attic at home.

"Lots of natural downlight is crucial when you’re working with colours and textures.

I’d speciﬁed VELUX roof windows for my clients in previous loft conversion jobs so I knew they’d suit the purpose perfectly.

I also think it’s very important, if you’re working from your own home, that lines are drawn between home-time and ofﬁce-time.

Otherwise you’re just going to sit in the kitchen drinking coffee all day and convincing yourself you’re working."

Susanne adds: "My new studio is the perfect working environment. I’m away from domestic distractions and when I’m ﬁnished for the day I just pop downstairs and I’m home again. It’s a ten second commute - and I love it!"
