Having a structure built detached from the main building gives you far less disruptions than a house extension, and is less costly and time consuming. The cost you pay for your structure will be the final cost, there won’t be any additional costs from contractors once you’re project is complete. Also if the purpose of the studio is mainly for work, you won’t have the distraction of being connected to your home.
