White Peak Design & Build has completed a stunning pitched roof garden building, designed as a combined office and entertainment space. With the popularity of flat roof garden rooms, this pitched roof design stands out for its contemporary style and practicality.
As bespoke garden room specialists, White Peak Design & Build collaborated closely with the client to create this unique space. Following an initial consultation and site visit, the design team presented two proposals, and this striking design was selected for development.
A High-Quality Build
The garden room features a traditional timber frame core and has been constructed to meet Building Regulations standards. The design incorporates input from a structural engineer to ensure durability and safety. The building is highly insulated, with walls expertly layered with materials for optimum thermal performance. These include:
- Plasterboard (internal finish)
- Service cavity
- Vapour control layer
- 122mm structurally insulated panel walls (structural board, 100mm insulation, structural board)
- Breathable membrane
- Vented cavity
- Durable cladding: Black stained Larch cladding for the main walls and Western Red Cedar for decorative panels and overhang
The addition of louvred panels along the sides adds a stylish and practical feature to the design.
A Sophisticated Exterior
The contrasting cladding materials elevate the building’s aesthetic appeal. Treated black-stained larch clads the main structure, while Western Red Cedar enhances the recess on the front elevation. This combination creates a visually rich and modern exterior.
The pitched roof is finished with slate and powder-coated aluminium fascias, delivering a sleek, durable look. Velux windows incorporated into the roof allow natural light to flood the interior, adding a refined touch to the design.
A Bright, Inviting Interior
Inside, the vaulted ceiling creates a spacious, airy feel. The cathedral-style glazing on the front elevation, paired with additional windows along the side and roof, ensures ample natural light throughout.
The interior is fully plastered, decorated, and fitted with modern conveniences. The electrical system includes provisions for a TV, internet, and built-in speakers, making the space both functional and versatile.
Dimensions & Planning Details
- External dimensions: 8.7m x 4.1m
- Internal footprint: 7m x 3.8m
- Ceiling height: 2.7m
The building complies with Permitted Development regulations, eliminating the need for planning permission. However, White Peak Design & Build submitted plans to the local authority to secure a Certificate of Lawful Development, a valuable document for future property transactions.
Swift Build Time
Construction of the core structure took just three weeks, with an additional two weeks dedicated to the interior fit-out. The result is a beautifully designed, functional space delivered efficiently and to a high standard.
