Many garden room companies offer standard building sizes, often to the nearest metre or half metre. For most, this works well, but in some cases, a specific custom size down to the nearest centimetre maximises available space perfectly.
Garden Spaces is one such company that can create a custom-sized garden room tailored to your exact space. This elegant garden room with an integrated storage area is a fine example of their customisation expertise.
Making the Most of Available Space
Garden Spaces' client aimed to fully utilise the space at the end of their garden. A standard-sized room would have left unused areas around the building, but by tailoring the footprint to 6.68m x 3.68m, Garden Spaces maximised the available area, crafting a building that fits seamlessly within its surroundings.
Above-Average Height for Added Spaciousness
The majority of garden rooms are built to a height of 2.5m, staying within Permitted Development rules for flexibility. However, some customers prefer higher ceilings, particularly in garden gyms or studios. Garden Spaces’ clients, who planned to use the room as a home office and relaxation space, opted for a higher ceiling, leading to a 2.7m overall height and a generous 2.4m floor-to-ceiling space, providing an airy, open atmosphere.
Garden Spaces managed the planning application to accommodate this design, handling all necessary approvals as part of their comprehensive service.
Discreet Storage Area Integrated with the Main Room
In most cases, garden rooms with storage are rectangular buildings divided by an internal wall. Here, however, Garden Spaces' client opted for a discreet design with the storage room set back from the main room’s front elevation. This provides a more cohesive look and utilises space effectively.
The main room spans 16.8 square metres, with an additional 2.3 square metre storage area finished in durable OSB, ideal for practical purposes. Lighting and electrical outlets are also available in the storage area, as per customer requirements.
Corner Bi-Fold Doors for Enhanced Indoor-Outdoor Flow
The recessed storage design allowed for corner bi-fold doors, which open up the room to the outside with two adjoining sets of doors. High-spec Schuco bi-fold doors, custom-finished to match the rear of the client's house, were chosen for quality and aesthetic appeal. Roof kerbs were also upgraded to the same RAL colour, enhancing the overall design.
Mixed Cladding for Optimal Aesthetics and Durability
This garden room features a mix of external claddings for both visual appeal and longevity. Non-visible sides and rear walls are clad in cement particle board, a durable solution for areas that don’t need regular maintenance. For the front elevation, high-spec Sivalbp cladding was used, which undergoes a drying and heating process to enhance its durability. Pre-coloured before leaving the factory, this finish complements the custom-coloured door frames perfectly.
