Why choose a garden studio?
Unlike traditional sheds or summerhouses, garden studios are fully insulated and double-glazed, making them comfortable to use all year round. Rain or shine, your creative sanctuary remains welcoming and functional. No more packing away materials at the end of a session – your dedicated studio allows you to leave your projects undisturbed, ready for your next burst of inspiration.
Crafting often involves specialised materials and tools that require safe and moisture-free storage. With insulated floors, walls, and roof structures, as well as moisture-resistant membranes, a garden studio ensures your supplies stay in pristine condition. Sanctum Garden Studios further enhances practicality by helping you design the ideal door and window placements for storage and accessibility.
Designed around you
Garden studios offer a unique opportunity to personalise your crafting space. From interior finishes to window configurations, you can create a naturally light and airy workspace that inspires creativity. Glazed doors and carefully positioned windows seamlessly connect the indoor space with your garden, providing stunning seasonal views to spark inspiration.
Michelle’s 3m x 2.4m craft room
A fantastic example of a garden studio tailored for crafting is Michelle’s 3m x 2.4m Contemporary Overhang Studio in Preston, part of Sanctum Garden Studios’ Contemporary Range. This range also includes a cubed roofline option for those who prefer a different aesthetic.
One feature that made Sanctum’s studios stand out for Michelle was the innovative foundation system. Unlike traditional methods requiring a concrete slab, Sanctum’s studios include a foundation designed by a structural engineer. This saves time, effort, and additional costs, as the foundation is already included as part of the build.
Michelle’s studio is a light, inviting space with French doors and a small opening window for ventilation. The interior boasts light grey laminate flooring, white melamine walls, and directional lighting – all included in the overall package.
Quick and hassle-free installation
Purchasing a garden craft room from Sanctum Garden Studios is a streamlined process. From placing the order, lead times are typically 4 to 6 weeks, with installation taking just two days on-site. This ensures minimal disruption and a quick turnaround for your new creative space.
The final step is for a local electrician to connect the junction box on the studio’s exterior to your home’s power supply. After that, your studio is ready to use!
