This stylish 6m x 4m insulated garden room, designed and built by Hargreaves Garden Spaces, sets itself apart from typical contemporary Cedar-clad designs. The standout feature is its sloped cheek detail on the front elevation, which adds a touch of elegance and individuality to the building.
Bespoke Design with Multi-Functionality
This garden room was custom-designed as a versatile space for family activities and as a home gym. The design takes inspiration from the Windsor range by Hargreaves Garden Spaces but has been tailored to meet the client’s specific needs.
SIPs Core for Superior Insulation
The structure is built using SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels), renowned for their strength and high insulation properties. This ensures the room is warm and inviting in winter while remaining comfortably cool during summer, offering year-round usability.
Externally, the room is clad in Western Red Cedar, a premium choice for garden buildings. Known for its natural reddish-brown tones and excellent resistance to rot and fungal damage, Cedar offers beauty and durability with minimal maintenance.
Hargreaves Garden Spaces also provide other cladding options, including:
- Composite wood for a modern aesthetic
- Stylish renders
- Alternatives to Western Red Cedar, such as British Cedar and Scandinavian Redwood
The Western Red Cedar cladding in this build is complemented by Anthracite grey aluminium bi-fold doors, a popular pairing for its sleek, contemporary appeal.
Eye-Catching Tapered Cheek Detail
One of the defining features of this project is the tapered cheek detail on the front elevation, which supports the roof overhang and frames the entrance beautifully.
While hood detailing around doors is common in garden room design, the tapered sides of this project are a rare touch. This creative element enhances the visual interest of the structure from both the front and side perspectives.
High-Quality Interior Finish
The interior matches the high-quality exterior with a plastered and decorated finish, offering the refined feel of a new-build home. The room also features:
- Laminate flooring installed over underfloor heating, ensuring warmth even on the chilliest days
- An air conditioning system, discreetly installed for comfort during hot summer months.
- The air conditioning unit is neatly positioned high on the wall, with the external system placed out of sight.
A Turnkey Solution
This project in Richmond, London, was delivered on a turnkey basis, meaning Hargreaves Garden Spaces managed everything—from groundworks to final decoration. When the team left the site, the room was fully ready for use. The clients simply needed to move in their furniture and start enjoying their new garden space.
