Executive Garden Rooms specialise in bespoke designs, working closely with clients to create rooms tailored to their intended purpose. This example is a 4m x 4m garden music room featuring integrated soundproofing. This is not their first venture into crafting music rooms—we featured on that houses a grand piano!
Complete Project Management
Executive Garden Rooms handles every aspect of the build, from foundation to final electrical connections. This turnkey approach eliminates the need for multiple contractors while ensuring all elements work together seamlessly for optimal acoustic performance.
Thermal & Acoustic Insulation
Constructed with a traditional timber frame system, the room features high levels of insulation. In fact, Executive Garden Rooms offer one of the best thermal specifications available. In this case, the thermal efficiency is complemented by enhanced soundproofing. As part of the soundproofing measures, resilient bars have been added to the ceiling structure. These bars help minimise vibration and reduce noise transmission, while also improving the acoustic quality within the room.
Minimal Glazing to Avoid Sound Leakage
For soundproofing purposes, the designer will typically recommend minimising glazing, as glass allows sound to escape more easily than solid walls. In this case, the design incorporates a desk-height, three-pane casement window and a composite front door with a small glazed panel. This approach provides natural light and ventilation while keeping sound leakage to a minimum.
The exterior windows and front door are finished in Anthracite grey, creating an attractive contrast with the paler grey Cedral weatherboarding. Cedral is a durable, cement-based cladding with a wood grain texture. It comes pre-coloured and is low maintenance, retaining its appearance over time without the need for repainting.
Modern Interior Finishes
Inside, the music room features fully plastered and decorated walls, as is standard with Executive Garden Rooms. The smooth walls and wooden flooring contribute to a modern, airy atmosphere.
The electrical setup includes recessed LED downlights, multiple power points, and an electric panel heater. Additional features include a smoke alarm, an external security light, and Cat6 data cabling for high-speed internet. Notably, Executive Garden Rooms manage the connection of the building’s electrics to the mains supply as part of their comprehensive service. In this case, the connection involved installing 30 metres of armoured cabling—eliminating the need to hire a separate electrician.
