At a glance
- Size: 35sqm, with the stepped front creating an L-shaped office and a storage room alongside.
- Outside: Vertical Western Red Cedar, clear-coated so it keeps its warm tone, and Grey Cedral on the rear wall by the boundary, backed by an exterior-grade fire board.
- Inside: Plastered and painted, with a cloakroom and kitchenette, Anthracite Grey picture windows and bi-folds, and air conditioning that switches itself off when the room is empty.
- Storage: Reached by a half-glazed external door and lined in OSB to stand up to wear, with lighting, power points and heating.
- Company: Executive Garden Rooms, whose turnkey service here covered trenching for foul, water and electric services, a pumping station, a reinforced concrete foundation and Building Control sign-off.
Attractive stepped front design
The unique, stepped front elevation gives the building a contemporary aesthetic. The roof fascia and soffits follow the same stepped pattern, which adds character to the façade. Integrated soffit lighting enhances this feature, making the garden room stand out beautifully at night.
Durable Cedar & Cedral exterior
The building’s exterior combines Western Red Cedar and Grey Cedral cladding. The Cedar boards are fitted vertically, accentuating the garden room’s lines and enhancing the visual appeal. Treated with a clear coating to protect against UV damage, the Cedar will retain its warm tones instead of weathering to a silvery grey. The rear wall, which sits close to the boundary, is clad in Grey Cedral and features an exterior-grade fire board for added safety. Inside, fire-rated plasterboard ensures additional protection, with all work signed off by Building Control as part of Executive Garden Rooms’ service.
L-shaped office space
The stepped elevation creates a spacious L-shaped office, filled with natural light from large picture windows and bi-fold doors. High-spec aluminium doors and windows, finished in Anthracite Grey, pair beautifully with the Cedar cladding for a sophisticated look.
The interior is plastered and painted, providing a bright and professional finish. The office includes a cloakroom and kitchenette, making it fully functional as a workspace now and adaptable space for future uses.
Well-specified electrics
The garden room is equipped with a well-designed electrical package, including WiFi-enabled air conditioning controlled via a mobile app. The air conditioning system has a motion sensor that automatically powers down when the room is unoccupied, helping to reduce energy use. The room also features LED downlights, convenient power points, and WiFi access, with the building’s electrics connected directly to the main house as part of the turnkey service.
Convenient storage room
Next to the main office space, a storage room is accessible via a half-glazed external door. While the office has a sleek, plastered finish, the storage area is lined with OSB for durability. This practical space includes lighting, power points, and heating, making it a useful addition to the garden room.
Groundworks included in the turnkey service
Executive Garden Rooms provide a full turnkey service that includes all necessary groundwork. For this project, extensive trenching was completed to connect the foul, water, and electric services, and a pumping station was installed as required. The building rests on a reinforced concrete foundation, ensuring stability and longevity.
