Home yoga studio
A 6m × 3.5m garden yoga studio with a floor-to-ceiling glazed corner, a sedum roof for the overlooking neighbours and cedar on its two most visible sides.
Garden rooms are an excellent choice for creating a tranquil home yoga studio. Each space can be tailored to your specific requirements, as demonstrated by this bespoke yoga room crafted by Swift Unlimited.
If you’re seeking a peaceful area dedicated to yoga practice, a garden room provides the perfect solution. Swift Unlimited garden rooms are constructed using high-quality SIPs panels and fitted with premium aluminium double-glazed doors and windows. These materials ensure exceptional insulation and a quiet environment-ideal for practising yoga. Should additional soundproofing be required, the Swift Unlimited team can incorporate tailored acoustic insulation into the design.
Beyond being a calming retreat, a garden room can foster a strong connection with your garden. Doors and windows can be strategically placed to frame beautiful views, enhancing your yoga experience.
At a glance
- Size: 6m × 3.5m, designed with the client for yoga practice.
- Glazing: Bi-folds and a fixed window form a floor-to-ceiling corner, and the windows have boxed, plastered architraves.
- Roof: A sedum-based living roof helps the building blend into the garden for the neighbouring houses that overlook it.
- Cladding: Western Red Cedar on the two prominent sides, with cement particle board on the others, colour-matched to the powder-coated doors, windows and trims.
- Company: Swift Unlimited, who prepared the cladding so landscapers could add decking later, with ventilation holes in the skirt to sit beneath it.
Tailored design for optimal use
In this project, the Swift Unlimited team collaborated closely with their client to design a 6m by 3.5m building. The design features a corner of floor-to-ceiling glazing, achieved with a combination of bi-fold doors and a fixed window.
Unique window detailing
One standout feature is the boxed architrave detail around the windows, plastered for a clean, modern finish. This distinctive touch, rarely seen in garden room design, enhances the room’s contemporary aesthetic.
Designed to blend with surroundings
The building is overlooked by neighbouring properties, so a sedum-based living roof was installed to help it blend into the garden. Living roofs not only add year-round interest and colour but also provide ecological benefits, such as a natural habitat for insects and birds. Additionally, they enhance insulation and manage moisture.
Modern exterior with mixed cladding
This yoga studio showcases a mix of Western Red Cedar cladding on its two prominent sides, with cement particle board on the other elevations. The cement board is colour-matched to the powder-coated doors, windows, and trims.
Combining cladding materials like these is increasingly popular in contemporary garden room design. The approach is both visually striking and practical, with materials like cement board offering a low-fire-rating option for compliance with Building Regulations. Using premium finishes like Cedar on visible areas while opting for cost-effective materials elsewhere can also help manage project budgets.
Prepared for landscaping
This garden room was part of a larger garden design project. Swift Unlimited prepared the cladding to allow landscapers to seamlessly add decking and other features. Ventilation holes in the building’s skirt ensure airflow and will be discreetly hidden beneath the decking.
