Garden Spaces

This archive of articles explores the work of Garden Spaces, known for their contemporary garden rooms built using highly insulated SIPs. We first featured their work in 2009 and have since followed their journey as one of the leading innovators in the market.

Garden Spaces offers one of the most extensive ranges of materials and design features we've seen, allowing you to truly personalise your garden room's finishes.

They provide a comprehensive 'One Stop Shop' service, guiding you from the design stage through to the final decoration. If your project includes a shower room or kitchen, they will handle the groundworks and utility connections, ensuring everything is approved by Building Control.

In addition to garden rooms, they also design and build self-contained living annexes under their Annexe Spaces brand. You can find the articles we've written about their garden annexe homes here.
