Contemporary pool and plant room by Garden Spaces
Garden Spaces  pool and plant room

Creating a fully insulated garden room alongside a swimming pool is a popular choice these days, providing an ideal space to change, relax, and enjoy privacy after a swim. Garden rooms are also highly functional, offering a dedicated area to house essential pool equipment.

With the expertise of a garden room designer, a single, well-planned building can seamlessly serve multiple purposes. This contemporary pool and plant room by Garden Spaces demonstrates how a versatile and stylish garden building can be achieved.

At a glance

  • Built for: Relaxing and changing beside the pool, and housing the pool equipment.
  • Layout: A main room, a compact WC with the basin above the cistern, and a plant room through an internal door.
  • Glazing: A long run of wrap-around glazing looking over the landscaped garden.
  • Finishes: Plastered and decorated with laminate floors; the plant room left in exposed OSB.
  • Company: Garden Spaces.

The brief

A multi-functional retreat

Garden Spaces’ client aimed to create a flexible space that would serve as a leisure retreat, changing area, and essential plant room, all within one roof. The design team crafted a garden room featuring a substantial section of wrap-around glazing, allowing abundant natural light while maintaining a strong connection with the surrounding landscaped garden. A spacious deck at the front offers an additional area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

Thoughtful, space-saving design

The room includes a compact WC that incorporates a space-saving toilet cistern with a small washbasin above-a practical solution that maximises the usable space.

An internal door connects the main room to the plant room, where the essential pool heating and pumping equipment is stored. This well-organised space allows for easy access and maintenance, with the OSB finish of the SIPs panels left exposed for practicality and durability.
