With its expansive covered veranda stretching across the front, this garden room demonstrates the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Designed collaboratively by the team at Swift Unlimited and their clients, it incorporates all the features envisioned for their perfect space.
The room replaces an old greenhouse on an elevated garden area, offering breathtaking views from its raised position—a key factor in its design.
A Multifunctional Garden Room
This versatile garden room caters to multiple uses. Primarily, it is a cosy sitting room for relaxation, but it also doubles as a TV lounge and an exercise room equipped with foldable gym equipment.
The insulated main room measures an impressive 6 metres wide by 3 metres deep, providing ample space for these varied purposes.
A Covered Veranda Extends the Space
What sets this garden room apart is its covered veranda, which runs along the front of the building. At 2 metres deep, it seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living.
Bi-fold doors span the front wall of the insulated room, opening directly onto the veranda. During warmer months, this effectively expands the living area by more than 50%, creating a harmonious flow between the interior and the outdoors.
The transition between the room and the veranda is smooth, with no step to navigate. The deck and interior flooring are aligned at the same height, complemented by low-threshold bi-fold doors for easy access.
Unique Design Details
This garden room boasts features that elevate its design. Corner glazing is a common choice for modern garden rooms, but this project takes it further with a custom trapezoid window on the side wall—a striking and innovative detail.
Access Steps as a Design Feature
Built on a sloping plot, access steps were an essential addition. Instead of being an afterthought, they have been integrated into the veranda’s design, wrapping around its edge to form a cohesive and attractive feature.
This thoughtful approach ensures the steps enhance the overall aesthetic, unlike more standard layouts where steps are tucked away at one end of the building.
Client Satisfaction
The clients are thrilled with their new space:
It's great to find a company like Swift that places such a high priority on customer satisfaction. I considered several other garden room companies but wanted something different from the standard designs offered by many; Swift provided a more bespoke product with designs that showed originality and imagination..."
