Sometimes, a garden room project doesn’t go as planned. While it’s not a common occurrence, some garden rooms fail to meet the expected standards. Fortunately, Swift Unlimited rescued a client whose previous experience with another company left them disappointed.
After ordering a garden room from a different provider, Steve was unhappy with the quality of the finished building. Ultimately, he had it dismantled and decided to start fresh with a new approach.
This time, Steve chose to work with Swift Unlimited, bespoke garden room designers renowned for their attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship. Rather than duplicating the initial design, Swift approached the project as a brand-new commission, beginning with two essential questions:
- What do you want this room to enable you to do?
- What would it look like, and what would you have in it?
Steve’s vision was to create a high-spec workshop-style building—a true man cave. The result was a sleek, functional garden room measuring 5.5 metres by 3 metres.
Key Features of the Design
The standout feature of the building is the four slim, floor-to-ceiling windows on the front elevation. These enhance the simplicity of the design by concentrating all glazing on one wall. The access door is positioned on a side wall, keeping the front elevation clean and striking.
A rectangular opening window was added to the rear wall, situated high up to provide extra light and ventilation while maintaining privacy.
The exterior design combines the warm tones of vertically fixed Western Red Cedar cladding with contrasting grey window frames and roof trims. This combination creates a modern yet natural aesthetic.
Interior Finish
Inside, the workshop is plastered and decorated to a standard comparable to a new house. The laminate wooden flooring and neutral decor create a bright, contemporary feel.
As the owner of a business specialising in alarm systems, Steve ensured his man cave is equipped with state-of-the-art security features.
Planning and Construction
The garden room was built under Permitted Development rules and completed within two weeks.
Client Satisfaction
Steve was so impressed with the quality of his new garden room that he later commissioned Swift Unlimited to design a contemporary extension for his home. The Swift team were delighted to restore his confidence in the garden room industry.
