The Skin Faxi Studio

An off grid set-up

The base was built up above ground due to the grounds condition using base grids, filled with limestone as a great drainage material.

The frame was built using hand tools and power drills charged from solar panels which also provides power to light and facilitate the place. 2 x 8ft solar panels were sourced along with a used leisure battery and converter.

To make the structure airtight, sealant was used for any gaps and an anti-fungal & mould damp proof sheet was applied from the floor upwards half way and on top of the roof.

An additional layer of double bubble insulation wrap was added as a vapour barrier, and further floor insulation was laid using recycled foam tiles from used car window screen protectors.

The roof felt and apex is ready to be added to prevent leaks and internally, the walls and floor is ready for boarding.

Shopping for plywood or moisture resistant plaster boards commences….
