Garden room with mezzanine floor
A dual-pitched Malmö with a second deck built into the roof space — a sleeping platform or a reading corner, without stealing headroom from the room below.
If we had to choose a favourite garden room design, it would likely be a pitched roof style, with the Malmö range by Garden2Office being one of our top picks. The pitched roofline creates a fantastic interior space, with the vaulted ceiling providing a much airier and more open feel compared to a mono-pitch garden room.
The extra headroom offered by a dual-pitched roof is especially beneficial when designing spaces like a home gym, where the added height enhances functionality.
At a glance
- The range: the Malmö, a dual-pitched design whose extra headroom suits a gym or anywhere the height earns its keep.
- The mezzanine: an option on the range — a sleeping deck or a quiet spot to read, set so it does not cut the ceiling height underneath.
- Getting up there: a space-saving ladder, with a balustrade at the deck edge.
- The finish: the deck is painted in, so it reads as part of the room rather than an addition.
- Worth knowing: sleeping in a garden room brings Building Regulations into play — check before you plan the deck as a bedroom.
- Company: Garden2Office, one of the few offering a mezzanine at all.
Adding a mezzanine floor to a garden room
One of the nicest features of the Malmö range by Garden2Office is the option to add a mezzanine floor. This addition can serve as a sleeping deck or a quiet retreat for reading. Keep in mind, if you plan to use the garden room as a sleeping space, it must comply with Building Regulations. Experienced designers like Garden2Office can guide you through this process during a site survey.
The Garden2Office team has been sharing the build progress of a Malmö with a mezzanine floor on Instagram. As we can see, the second floor is cleverly designed so it doesn’t reduce the ceiling height in the space below. This layout seems ideal for incorporating a cloakroom under the mezzanine.

The team also installed a space-saving ladder leading up to the mezzanine deck, along with a balustrade for safety.
From the images, we can see that the mezzanine deck is seamlessly integrated into the overall structure, with a painted finish that blends it perfectly with the room.
