The addition of a veranda along the front of a garden studio can beautifully enhance the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. A veranda’s depth can be tailored to your preferences—some are narrow, functioning as a simple step into the room, while others are designed to be much deeper.
This example by Sanctum Garden Studios features a veranda measuring 1 metre deep, extending across the width of the 4.7m x 3.5m studio. The roof has been thoughtfully extended beyond the front wall, creating an elegant canopy over the veranda—an enduring design favourite.
Finished in Western Red Cedar
The veranda is finished in Western Red Cedar, matching the material used for the main building. This continuity creates a seamless, cohesive look that blends beautifully with the garden surroundings.
To enhance the design, exterior-grade downlights are installed within the roof canopy, casting a gentle curtain of light along the building’s front façade.
Slide-and-Fold Doors Open onto the Veranda
Large slide-and-fold doors open out onto the veranda, allowing the outdoor space to feel like a natural extension of the main room. This seamless transition strengthens the connection between indoor and outdoor living.
Slide-and-fold doors offer a practical and stylish solution for garden rooms. They combine the best features of bi-fold and sliding doors—folding neatly to one side to create a wide opening, while still offering a sleek sliding mechanism.
On each side wall of the studio, narrow full-height windows have been installed, framing unique views of the garden and wrapping the glazing around the room.
This design beautifully balances aesthetics with functionality, making it a timeless choice for anyone looking to create a versatile garden room.
