From the designer: “The wool hall is a local landmark in Somerset. The Tuckey Design Studio reinterpreted the hall as a family home and recording studio, restored the original building and revised an expansion of the 1980s.
“The history of the site was a constant reference throughout the development. The woolenhalle was an epicenter of craft, residences and music production throughout her life.
