A gym and relaxation space in one
The clients initially approached Swift Unlimited with the idea of building a dedicated home gym. During the collaborative design process, their vision evolved to include a relaxing space for leisure as well as fitness.
The resulting 6m x 5m building provides ample room for multiple uses. The gym area is located towards the back of the room, featuring space for yoga mats and free weights.
Mirrors have been strategically placed in each workout zone, while a large TV is mounted in an ideal position for streaming online classes. Thoughtful design ensures all necessary sockets for the satellite TV, internet, and HDMI connections are conveniently located.
Custom electrical planning
This project highlights Swift Unlimited’s attention to detail, as seen in the bespoke electrical plan tailored to the clients’ needs. Working closely with their customers, they help determine the optimal number and placement of sockets.
The fittings include brushed steel sockets with USB charging points, dimmable Collingwood recessed ceiling lights, and durable Collingwood exterior-grade lighting under the roof canopy.
A room flooded with natural light
Natural light fills the space, thanks to a wall of glazing on the front elevation, complemented by a tall window and casement door on the side. Additional rectangular windows at the rear provide ventilation and extra light without compromising privacy.
The front glazing comprises a set of aluminium 5-leaf bi-fold doors, which open effortlessly to connect the garden room with the decked veranda and the surrounding garden. For convenience and style, the glazing is equipped with integral blinds-a feature well worth the investment.
Durable and low-maintenance finishes
From the outside, the garden room makes a bold impression. The angled buttress framing the front elevation adds character, while the uniform colour of the external finishes enhances the building’s sleek aesthetic.
Powder-coated aluminium doors, windows, and trims are colour-matched to premium composite cladding and decking. These materials, along with the EPDM roofing, are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance. The composite cladding ensures the structure retains its fresh appearance for years to come.
