A professional space with modern amenities
The client envisioned a professional yet cosy setting to greet clients, complete with a well-equipped kitchen and a compact shower room. Garden Spaces delivered a thoughtful layout that meets each of these needs without compromising on comfort or space.
Garden office with L-shaped kitchen
One of the highlights of this office is its L-shaped kitchen, demonstrating how seamlessly a kitchen can fit into a garden office. Garden Spaces handles all water and waste connections as part of their turnkey service, ensuring a smooth move-in process with everything set up and ready to go.
Climate control for year-round comfort
The office’s structure uses structurally insulated panels (SIPs) and performance double glazing, ensuring high insulation levels for comfortable year-round use. For complete climate control, Garden Spaces installed a two-part air conditioning unit that allows the floristry team to maintain an ideal working temperature. The interior unit blends unobtrusively into the kitchen, preserving the sleek aesthetic.
Compact but stylish shower room
The garden office also features a bijou but well-equipped shower room. Despite its small size, it includes all essential features-a contemporary toilet, basin, and shower cubicle. The grey tiling and fixtures lend a sophisticated look, maximising both style and utility in a compact space.
Striking grey exterior cladding
The exterior of the office is as visually appealing as the interior, with grey cladding selected to complement the client’s branding. Garden Spaces used highly durable Larch cladding, factory-coated in a shade called Galet 403 from the French Sivalbp range. This environmentally friendly finish ensures both durability and a high-quality aesthetic. The darker grey aluminium frames (RAL7021) of the doors and windows enhance the contemporary look, with recessed downlights in the porch area adding a sophisticated touch.
Garden Spaces’ turnkey service
Garden Spaces managed the project from start to finish, covering all aspects from design and planning applications to foundations, construction, and interior detailing. They ensured the kitchen and shower room were fully connected to mains services and certified by Building Control, providing a ready-to-use workspace on completion.
