Garden Room Projects We've been exploring
Since 2009, we have been writing articles about garden rooms, showcasing the versatility of these high spec, insulated garden buildings. We aim to inform buyers of their options and showcase the work of garden room companies, large and small.
Pitched roof garden gym & steam room
This impressive pitched roof garden room is by White Peak Design & Build. The bespoke design will be used as a home gym and features a steam room and w.c.
With no direct access to the garden, all the materials for the build were craned in over the house.
Garden annexe designed to compliment the main house
Finishing the exterior of a garden living annexe in a similar vernacular to the main house can be a clever way to tie the two buildings together
– it might also please the planners and your neighbours!
This A Room in the Garden annexe features a spacious living space, well-equipped kitchen, double bedroom, en-suite and utility room.
Insulated composite garden rooms
Garden Rooms Online offer insulated composite buildings in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Garden Rooms Online offer a full installation service or can supply a self build kit.
Modern Garden Offices
Modern Garden Offices offer a range of outdoor office buildings specifically designed to be comfortable, professional and productive workspaces at home. The beauty of their buildings is that you can close the door and walk back into your home life without distractions at the end of your working day.

Cedar clad garden studio nestles into the garden
This garden room with secret storage shed built in Sevenoaks shows how successful Ark Design Build are at nestling their garden rooms into an established garden. The garden room has been designed to maximise the space available, but in a way so the existing planting has room to breathe.
Living Annexes by AMC Garden Rooms
Cambridgeshire based AMC Garden Rooms have recently added self-contained living annexes to their range of options. The AMC team will work closely with you to create a layout that works for you and the size of your garden. Living annexes are offered on a turnkey basis, so you are working with one company from start to finish.
Explore Booths Garden Studios workshop
Booths Garden Studios are one of the biggest garden room companies; they are also one of the longest-established names in the industry.
Alex Booth, who leads the Booths Garden Studios team, has made a video giving us a tour of their workshops. It is well worth a watch as it shows how each building element has its own section within the workshop and a dedicated team working on it.
Acoustic garden room with porch
4.8m x 3m soundproof garden studio by Garden Spaces. The multi-layer acoustic specification is enhanced with an acoustic porch which offers in excess of 60dB when the doors are closed.
Multifunctional garden office with shower room
This stylish garden office with its black external cladding is a bespoke design by Miniature Manors. The 7m x 4m building has been designed as a multifunctional space, acting as a home office and gym with an ensuite shower room. The tailormade specification includes acoustic glazing and preparation for the installation of a log burner.
Personalise the layout of your living annexe
Garden Annexes offer a range of options to personalise the design and layout of your living annexe or bedroom suite. You can choose from 24 sizes, and you decide how the living accommodation is arranged – maybe you want the feel of an open-plan apartment or the cosy feel of individual rooms. The Garden Annexes team will work with you to design your ideal new home.
A garden office with personality
We get to explore many garden office buildings as part of our work. This bespoke design by A Room in the Garden has really caught our eye, as the combination of materials has given the workspace a personality of its own.
Sitting on a footprint of 5.3m x 3m, the space has been divided to create three rooms – the office space, a toilet and a store room.
Garden room with sliding sun screen
There are subtle design tricks that designers can incorporate to ensure their garden rooms are cool places to be on hot days. Design elements that offer natural shading within the room are essential, particularly with the heat waves we are experiencing these days. With their Ruthven range, Bridge Garden Rooms have designed in natural shading solutions which are not only practical but look good too.
Upgrading your extension with smart technology
In this article, David Salisbury share valuable advice on the ways you can incorporate smart technology into your garden room extension.
One garden room building designed for two uses
Adding a garden room building that serves more than one use is growing in popularity. This project by Garden Spaces is an excellent example of this approach. One well-designed garden building has been divided internally to create a home gym, a hobby room and a shower room.
Garden office & gym with a mono-pitched roofline
This stylish two-roomed garden building by Swift Garden Rooms has been designed as a home office and gym space, but in a way, so it can evolve into other uses in the future. It features a mono-pitched roofline that offers increased headroom for users of the gym space.
2.4m x 1.8m (8ft x 6ft) garden office
If you have a small garden or don’t want to take up much space in a bigger one, there are garden office designs that are no bigger than a standard 8ft x 6ft garden shed. You might wonder how useable such a small garden office would be.
We have mocked up a couple of scale models to help you see the space you would have.
Cargo – shipping container style garden rooms, but better
Inspired by the cubist lines and corrugated cladding of shipping containers, A Room in the Garden has launched a range of well-specified pre-designed garden rooms called Cargo. With on-trend black external finishes and a plywood interior, the Cargo range is available in 9 sizes.
Dual entry garden office
You are not limited to having just one door when building a garden office building. This bespoke design by Kent-based Ark Design Build is an excellent example of how you can position doors in a garden office just where you need them.
The office is positioned in the middle of the garden with doors on both the front and rear elevations.
Insulated garden room with open seating area
Creating a garden room building that combines a highly insulated room with an open-sided covered seating area has become really popular over the last few years. The Red Tarn range by Bridge Garden Rooms is an excellent example of this type of indoor-outdoor building.
