This archive of articles looks at the work of Garden Spaces who design contemporary garden rooms built using highly insulated SIP’s. We first wrote about their work in 2009 and have enjoyed following their journey as one of the leading innovators in the market.
They offer three ranges of garden room, but these are just a starting point for a building that is tailored around your garden and intended use.
Garden Spaces offer one of the widest palettes of materials and design features we’ve seen, you can truly personalise the finishes of your Garden Space.
They offer a turnkey service and will work from you from design right through to the final decoration. If you choose to include a shower room or kitchen, they will handle the groundworks and connections for you, ensuring they are signed off by Building Control.
As well as creating all types of garden room building, they also design and build contemporary house extensions, self-contained garden annexes and school classrooms.

Faced with the challenge of an unconventional space around an existing garden office and three boundary walls, Garden Spaces crafted a bespoke L-shaped garden gym for their clients.
The specifications of the garden gym were carefully tailored to the equipment planned by the client. The foundation system incorporated a strategically positioned concrete slab to accommodate the weight equipment, and reinforcement panels were installed to secure wall-mounted equipment. Additionally, the gym was equipped with specialist rubber flooring to enhance safety and durability.
This project by Garden Spaces is a striking example of highly bespoke garden room design. The client’s vision, a room with glazed walls that could be entirely opened to seamlessly connect with the garden, required not only creative design but also advanced engineering skills.
Thanks to their extensive experience and expertise, Garden Spaces successfully brought this ambitious concept to life, crafting a space that perfectly blurs the line between the indoors and outdoors. The result is a remarkable garden room where the corner can be completely opened, fully integrating the room with the surrounding garden.

We have featured several of Garden Spaces’ acoustic studios, but this is the first one we have featured that incorporates a storage room.
