Garden rooms with space for a hot tub
Two Swift Unlimited garden rooms, 12m × 5m and 7.6m × 4m, each pairing an insulated entertaining room with a covered hot tub area under a glazed skylight.
Outdoor entertainment spaces that seamlessly combine indoor comfort with outdoor living are increasingly popular. Many homeowners are choosing to pair a fully insulated garden room with an adjoining open-fronted, covered area. These versatile designs are ideal for seating, dining, or even housing a hot tub, as these two bespoke Swift Unlimited projects beautifully illustrate.
At a glance
- The idea: A fully insulated garden room joined to an open-fronted covered area, used here for a hot tub.
- Example 1: 12m × 5m, with a bar and two sofas, bi-folds to the garden, and a shower room behind the hot tub so no one drips through the main room.
- Example 2: 7.6m × 4m, for clients recreating the indoor-outdoor life they had abroad, with a projector screen, a bar and hidden storage behind the screen.
- Structure: SIPs with plastered interiors; in the first project, structural engineers sized the ground screws for the weight of the hot tub.
- Company: Swift Unlimited, who design each building around the client rather than offering standard models.
Tailor-made designs
Swift Unlimited specialise in bespoke designs, tailoring every project to their clients’ unique tastes and needs. The two featured projects combine highly insulated garden rooms with covered outdoor spaces designed specifically for hot tubs. Despite their shared purpose, these buildings are distinct in design, showcasing how Swift Unlimited creates personalised solutions rather than offering one-size-fits-all buildings.
Example 1: entertainment room with hot tub & shower room
This project measures an impressive 12m wide by 6m deep, offering a generous footprint.
Main Room Features
Designed for year-round entertaining, the main room includes a bar and ample seating for two sofas. Aluminium bi-fold doors open fully to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly.
Built with SIPs (structural insulated panels), this room boasts excellent insulation, a plastered interior, and a high-spec finish. Air conditioning ensures the space is comfortable in all seasons.
Hot Tub Area
Sliding doors lead to the covered hot tub area, featuring a glazed skylight for cloud-watching and exterior-grade LED downlights for evening use.
The hot tub’s significant weight was carefully considered in the foundation design, with structural engineers ensuring the ground screws distributed the load effectively.
Shower Room
A shower room located behind the hot tub area offers convenient access, allowing users to freshen up without dripping water through the main room.
Example 2: year-round hot tub space
In this project, Swift Unlimited’s clients sought to recreate the indoor-outdoor lifestyle they had enjoyed while living abroad. The result is a beautifully designed structure measuring 7.6m wide by 4m deep.
Main Room Features
The main room is a haven for relaxation and entertainment, complete with an oversized projector screen for movie nights and a bar for refreshments. Behind the screen, a hidden storage area adds functionality to the design.
Hot Tub Area
A glazed skylight above the hot tub ensures it can be enjoyed year-round, even during rain.
Outdoor Decking
A large composite deck extends the entertainment space, providing room for a barbeque and additional seating.
