Reading Time: 3 minutes
A garden bar is a fantastic way to extend a home’s entertainment space, offering a stylish setting for social gatherings, relaxation, and celebrations. Designed for year-round comfort, this recent project by Sanctum Garden Studios showcases how a well-specified garden building can become an inviting space for hosting friends and family, whatever the season.
Example of the Contemporary Overhang Range
The building chosen for this project is from Sanctum Garden Studios’ Contemporary Overhang range, a sleek and modern design measuring 4.8m x 3m. It features Western Red Cedar cladding paired with Anthracite Grey doors, windows, fascias, and soffits. This combination is particularly popular, creating a crisp contrast that enhances the building’s contemporary aesthetic.
Western Red Cedar is a highly durable choice, naturally resistant to decay and insect damage. It starts with a rich reddish-brown hue but can be left to weather to a silvery-grey patina over time, all without compromising its durability.
Personalised Design Choices
Sanctum Garden Studios works closely with clients to tailor the layout and finishes of their garden buildings. They offer a wide selection of sizes and glazing styles to suit different needs and uses. In this case, the client opted to concentrate the glazing in the left-hand corner, maximising views into the heart of their family garden.
A set of sliding doors and a full-height fixed window wrap around this corner, creating a bright and airy feel while maintaining a sense of enclosure and privacy. This thoughtful placement of glazing enhances the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing natural light to flood the interior.
Interior Styling and Layout
Inside, the client selected a plastered and decorated finish, complemented by dark wooden flooring. This well-specified backdrop allowed them to put their own stamp on the space with carefully chosen furnishings and decor.
At one end of the room, they created a comfortable seating area, perfectly positioned for viewing the TV and media wall. At the opposite end, a well-equipped bar with stool seating provides a stylish yet functional feature, ideal for entertaining. The client’s design choices seamlessly tie these two elements together, ensuring the space feels cohesive and inviting.
To enhance the aesthetic unity, they replicated the slatted wood panelling used on the media wall for the bar front, adding texture and depth to the room. Luxurious drapes soften the space, adding warmth and sophistication, while wall lights positioned around the room provide a mellow, ambient glow reminiscent of a high-end bar venue.
Year-Round Comfort
As with all Sanctum Garden Studios buildings, this garden bar is designed for comfortable use in all seasons. The multi-layer construction provides high levels of insulation, ensuring the room remains warm in winter and cool in summer. This means the owners can enjoy their garden entertainment space whenever they choose, without worrying about seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Transparent Pricing Inclusive of Foundation
One of the advantages of choosing Sanctum Garden Studios is their transparent pricing. The cost of the foundation system is included in the price of their buildings, ensuring no hidden surprises. Prices for different sizes and upgrade options are clearly listed on their website, making it easy for potential buyers to plan their investment.
The only additional cost to consider is the final electrical connection between the garden room and the mains supply of the house.
