Buying a garden room should be a considered process. Taking the time to research potential companies and collaborating on a design tailored to your needs can lead to a building that serves your purpose now and remains a valuable addition to your property for years to come.
Alan, a homeowner in Aberdeen, exemplified this approach when commissioning his man cave from Sanctum Garden Studios. After researching his options, Alan contacted the Sanctum team and began an unhurried design process. This careful planning ensured the result was exactly what he wanted—a space that matched his vision and specifications perfectly.
A Spacious Man Cave for Entertaining
Alan’s man cave needed to accommodate a pool table, bar, sofa, and TV. With a large garden at his disposal, he opted for a 7.8m wide by 3.5m deep building, offering ample space for all his needs.
He selected a bespoke design from Sanctum Garden Studios' Contemporary Overhang Range, featuring a 1m deep roof overhang along the front of the building. Recessed lighting within the canopy creates a sleek, illuminated facade, complemented by stylish up/down lights on either side of the doors.
Upgraded Features for Style and Function
To enhance the aesthetic and functionality, Alan chose aluminium-clad bi-fold doors over the standard uPVC option. These doors, installed in the front elevation, allow a large section of the wall to open onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor spaces.
The room was carefully positioned to capture views of the fields beyond the property. Rectangular fixed-pane windows in the rear wall were placed to maximise these views when seated, creating a lovely and tranquil atmosphere.
Modern Interior Finishes
Inside, Alan upgraded to a plastered and skimmed finish, which was then professionally decorated. Paired with an American Walnut laminate floor, the result is a light, modern interior that feels welcoming and stylish.
Built for Year-Round Comfort
Designed for everyday use, the man cave incorporates insulated walls, floors, and a roof, along with double-glazed doors and windows. For colder days, two electric slimline heaters provide quick and efficient warmth, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
