Studio

Studio

The studio building is a 5000 sq foot two story building designed as a photography studio. The front section of the building is a two story office complex with a full kitchen and three office spaces on the first floor and three offices and a large conference area on the second. There is a full bath on the second floor and half bath on the first floor. This represents 1/3 of the foot print of the building. This section has a 4 foot high crawl space underneath.

The rest of the building is a 2 story 40×40 foot room with a 16 foot ceiling with a wrap around deck (catwalk) on the second floor and storage underneath designed as the photography studio; currently with a cyc wall. The studio floor is poured concrete. This space could be ideal for small manufacturing, auto repair or anything else requiring some large open floor space.

Insulation:

The walls of the entire structure are 2×8 with fiberglas batt insulation. The attic, which is a huge trussed space has been foamed to dramatically reduce heating and cooling costs. Prior to foaming, the attic could easily reach 120-130 degrees in summer.

Heating:

The building has 2 separate hot air heating systems. One in a utility room on the second floor of the office heats the office section. A second furnace in the attic above the studio heats it.

Hot water is provided by solar hot water and a backup instantaneous propane water heater. There is a 500 gallon underground propane tank.
