Overview
The Studio Nest is the smallest AeroNest model — a compact premium modular space for clients who need a refined extra structure without crowding the site. At 28 to 42 m², it works as a garden office, guest suite, creative studio, wellness room, or short-stay retreat. Each Studio Nest is built to NZEB performance under Part L 2022, with a closed-panel timber-frame envelope, blown cellulose insulation, and a triple-glazed window package. Heating, ventilation, and bathroom or kitchenette specification are optional pathways agreed before production, so the home is shaped around how it will actually be used.
Materials
- Closed-panel timber-frame structure, FSC/PEFC certified
- Blown cellulose insulation, walls and roof
- Triple-glazed window package targeting U ≤ 1.2 W/m²K
- Siberian larch, thermowood, or fibre-cement cladding options
- Timber-lined interior surfaces and integrated storage planning
- Optional compact bathroom and kitchenette specification

- Heat-pump-ready electrical and heating plumbing where applicable
