Executive Garden Rooms’ clients in Poole, Dorset, presented them with a unique brief: to create two garden room buildings situated about 25m apart in a woodland setting. The larger of the two buildings was to be divided into two rooms, each with its own external access. These buildings were to serve as a home office, gym, and a quiet space for reading and relaxing.
Types of Garden Room
This archive of articles showcases garden room buildings designed for different uses.
Garden office, gym, and covered seating area under one roof
This 8.5m x 4.3m garden room in Banstead, Surrey, illustrates perfectly how these versatile buildings can accommodate multiple uses under one roof. Garden Fortress designed and built the space, dividing it into a home office, gym, and sheltered outdoor seating area.
The chosen site at the end of the client’s garden featured a significant fall in ground level. Garden Fortress installed a ground screw base and incorporated steps into the decking, making a feature out of the slope.
Light & airy garden annexe for the whole family
This 30 sqm garden annexe by Ark Design Build is designed for the whole family to enjoy. The pitched roofline creates a wonderfully light and airy interior. The annexe features a well-equipped kitchen and a shower room, which is customised according to the customer’s choice of tiles and fittings.
From conception to completion
Crusoe Garden Rooms Limited recently turned a client’s vision of a lakeside retreat into reality. Despite challenging conditions, Crusoe’s in-house team took care of the whole project, from the initial design to the completed room, including the final electrical connection.
Unlike many competitors who outsource installation, Crusoe Garden Rooms send their own team to sites across the UK, meaning you work with just one company throughout the project, allowing you to relax while your garden room comes to life.
Bespoke garden gym slots into a challenging plot
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.
Maintenance-free garden office & workshop
This 7m x 3m garden room by Garden2Oiice is split into a home office and a workshop. Built on a steep slope, the room uses two different types of exterior cladding that require little to no maintenance and look great. It’s a perfect blend of practicality and style.
Golf simulator garden room
For many golf fans, having their own place to practice at home is a dream. Now, thanks to clever design and the latest tech, that dream has become a reality for one golfer. They collaborated with Garden Affairs to create a 7m x 4m log cabin garden room to house their very own golf simulator.
Garden Annexe: A practical alternative to care homes
A Wiltshire family found a unique solution for their parents’ dementia care needs – a garden living annexe designed by Swift Unlimited. This purpose-built, future-proofed dwelling provides independence for their parents and proximity for family support, striking the ideal balance. Serving as a cost-effective, comfortable alternative to traditional care homes.
Garden office with living roof & green wall
This bespoke garden office by Miniature Manors sits on a footprint of 4.1m x 3m and incorporates both a sedum living roof covering and a green wall that adds interest all year round.
Garden room with corner sliding door configuration
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.
