Studio Beech specialises in revealing the potential of existing buildings and materials to be adapted for a new purpose.
Julie Beech founded Studio Beech after retraining as an Interior Architect in 2023. Prior to that she designed and built her own floating home, ran exhibitions and event for a sculpture gallery, and taught art and 3D design to people of all ages and abilities.
Her passion lies in seeing the potential of disused spaces and discarded materials and transforming them into something functional and beautiful. The studio practices a ‘waste not, want not’ approach that acknowledges and embraces our Earth’s shifting conditions. Conserving resources, reducing waste, and recycling materials is imperative - not only to reduce costs but to promote sustainability.
