The studio opens directly onto a garden created by Anthony’s wife, Emma Burrill, whose thoughtful design has transformed former pasture into a richly layered landscape of perennial borders, meadows, orchards and woodland. Structured yet naturalistic, the garden combines strong geometric forms with dynamic planting that changes through the seasons, encouraging biodiversity while responding sensitively to the surrounding countryside.
Title
The Granary Studio and Garden
Overview
Anthony Burrill’s studio is set within the rural landscape of the Kent and East Sussex border, where open fields and expansive skies provide a fitting backdrop to his clear, optimistic approach to graphic art. Housed in a simple contemporary building designed by England Architecture on the footprint of former farm stables, the light-filled studio reflects Burrill’s belief in simplicity, craftsmanship and the enduring value of analogue making.

Structured yet naturalistic, the garden combines strong geometric forms with dynamic planting that changes through the seasons, encouraging biodiversity while responding sensitively to the surrounding countryside.
Together, the studio and garden form a unified creative environment. Large windows frame ever-changing views of grasses and planting, bringing the rhythms of the landscape into Anthony’s daily practice. The graphic clarity of his work finds a natural counterpart in Emma’s approach to gardening, where modernist structure is softened by the movement of plants and the acceptance of natural processes. The result is a place where design, landscape and making exist in quiet dialogue, each enriching the other.
