Building a garden room doesn't mean you have to stick to one large space. It’s quite simple to divide the structure into multiple rooms for different purposes. Bespoke garden room specialists, Executive Garden Rooms, are experts in this, starting with a blank canvas and designing layouts tailored to the specific needs of their clients.
This 8-metre wide by 4-metre deep garden room was custom-designed for a family, with each member having unique requirements for the space. The larger of the two rooms serves as a multi-functional family area, complete with designated gaming and study zones. The images show several thoughtfully arranged work and gaming stations. An internal door connects this spacious family room to a dedicated home office. Thanks to floor-to-ceiling glazing along the front, both rooms offer beautiful views of the garden.
Maximising Natural Light
To enhance natural light and ventilation, additional glazing was incorporated into the roof. An electronic Velux roof window, equipped with a remote control and rain sensors, was installed. This roof light automatically closes if it starts to rain. While a feature like this isn’t the cheapest option, it significantly enhances the space, especially when glazing must be focused on one wall. It ensures light reaches the back of the room, creating a brighter and more welcoming environment.
Convenient Cloakroom Facilities
A cloakroom, complete with a toilet and a space-saving vanity unit, was also integrated into the design. The team at Executive Garden Rooms managed all necessary groundwork to connect the cloakroom to the mains sewerage and water systems, adhering to current Building Regulation standards.
Contemporary Interior Finishes
Inside, the three-room setup has a modern feel, akin to that of a newly built home. Executive Garden Rooms use plasterboard and skim the walls and ceiling, finishing with a high-quality paint job. Light wood flooring and white skirting boards have been installed throughout, adding to the contemporary aesthetic. The cloakroom features fittings you’d typically find in a house, such as a sleek toilet and vanity unit.
Electrical Specification
Executive Garden Rooms offer a well-specified electrical specification. In this project, six double power sockets were installed across the rooms, along with a Cat6 data point for a reliable internet connection. Unlike HomePlug systems, this hard-wired connection ensures stability. Fifteen LED downlights have been recessed into the ceilings, and two external security lights were fitted for added safety. Additionally, two smoke alarms have been installed for peace of mind.
The customer opted for an air conditioning system, providing efficient heating and cooling to ensure year-round comfort. The system consists of an indoor unit mounted high on a wall and an external unit, which was discreetly placed on a side wall to maintain the building’s aesthetic.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Cladding
Externally, the garden room is clad in Cedral weatherboard in a grey-green hue. This composite material offers the charm of painted timber but doesn’t require repainting, as the pigment is added during manufacturing. The cladding resists fading and flaking, meaning minimal maintenance and a consistently fresh appearance over time
Completed in Four Weeks
The entire project, including all groundworks, was completed within four weeks. The work was inspected and signed off by the local Building Control department, ensuring compliance with regulations.
Customer Feedback
Mr Locke from Ickenham shared his experience
We chose EGR because they offer a full-service from beginning to end and clearly care about the quality of their garden rooms. We were not disappointed. The design process went smoothly; they were extremely responsive and helpful. We had a general idea but were unclear on the details, and their photo gallery and advice were invaluable. The project started on time and progressed amazingly quickly, despite miserable weather. The workers were polite, efficient, and cleaned up daily. The project finished on time and within budget. After four weeks, we had a beautiful, fully-functional garden room, ready for use. The entire process was pleasant, and we are thrilled with our new space. We’d definitely recommend EGR to friends and family." – Mr Locke, Ickenham
