Atelier Garden Studios Pool House Project

Published:

We have looked at how Atelier garden studios make perfect pool houses before, and now Atelier have released a series of stunning photos of their latest pool house build.

Atelier were asked to design a pool house to compliment a stylish Huf Haus build. The design conscious amongst us will know that Huf Haus’s are renowned for their strong clean lines and Atelier have come up with an equally strong design which features their trademark curved wall / roof intersection.

The pool house incorporates a changing room, as well as standard features such as underfloor heating, brushed aluminium plug sockets and switches, lighting by Design Light, and a beautiful set of bespoke, bi-folding doors.

Ashleigh Barnes, Atelier’s regional sales manager, said

[quote]We are particularly delighted with this project. The end result is a marvellous piece of contemporary garden studio design. Huf Haus is famous for designing and manufacturing highly desirable prefabricated houses, and this project showcases Atelier’s talents perfectly alongside this world-class company and its worldwide reputation.”[/quote]

In our opinion a stunning, successful project!

Take The Plunge! Use A Garden Studio As A Pool House

Published:

Garden studios are so versatile they can be used for almost any use, this article by Atelier focuses on garden studios as pool houses:

Garden studios can be used for a wide range of activities; from office studios to multi-media rooms, from children’s play rooms to boutique spa rooms. However, Atelier has noticed an increasing demand for garden studios that will be used as pool houses for outdoor swimming pools.

A number of Atelier’s projects have involved designing and constructing garden studios to stand beside outdoor pools.

Used in this way, garden studios can be highly stylish additions to already impressive swimming pools. For this function, garden studios can also be highly functional as well; being utilised as changing rooms, patio areas, and even shower rooms and toilets.

Garden studios are perfect for keeping the house dry. By acting as a focal point for the outdoor pool, garden studios can be used by swimmers to dry off and get changed after a dip; a particularly welcome idea for parents, who may be keen to stop little, wet feet scampering through the main home! Elaborating on this theme, garden studios can also be used as convenient shower rooms and bathrooms, so that swimmers do not have to traipse through the house every time they need the bathroom.

In this role, garden studios can be used as perfect patio areas for lazy days by the pool. Atelier’s garden studios provide the perfect hideaway on warm summer days. Connected to the household’s main electricity source they are fully self-sufficient, providing a haven away from the home. Homeowners can enjoy Atelier’s garden studios from the comfort of their beautiful verandas, or from inside with the garden studios’ folding sliding door systems fully open, allowing the warm weather to flood in, whilst keeping the hot sun from burning them.

When used as pool houses, garden studios promote a healthier lifestyle, with summer activities based around the day-to-day use of garden studios. Children are more inclined to use the swimming pool, thereby burning off energy and leading more active lifestyles. Garden studios can be the hub of family life during the summer, providing a versatile structure that can be used for both active lifestyles and rest and relaxation.

Latest Pod Space Designs

Published:

Pod Space have always been popular with The Garden Room Guide readers who like the crisp contemporary lines of these garden rooms coupled with the emphasis on thermal performance without compromising on light and space, but we haven’t featured them much recently, this is because Pod Space have been busy honing their designs and increasing the range of garden rooms they offer. We think it has been worth the wait!

Pod Space now have 5 standard units – the micro pod, micro pod max, mini pod, glide pod and eco pod. The extension to the range to include the smaller micro pod and micro pod max has enabled Pod Space to bring quality garden rooms to clients with a smaller budget or individual home workers who require a small work space away from the main house.

Pod Space explain the redesign:

[quote]The aim of our re-design is to maintain the high quality of our garden rooms. We are constantly researching new products to ensure we are always delivering the highest standards of thermally efficient Pods for year round use but without compromising on delivery of light and space. This has included a change to our SIPS panel structure which is now even more efficient than before so that our Pods are even more thermally efficient than previously and naturally even more efficient than you’d expect in a new house. We’ve also invested in the external design with some new features that keep our Pods looking contemporary as well as improving their overall security and performance.”[/quote]

Finding Sanctum In The Garden

Published:

Sanctum Garden Studios have sent through this photo of one of their latest garden studio builds, the contemporary garden studio sits well in its surroundings and Sanctum have cleverly added a floor to ceiling glazed panel on the side elevation which frames the view of this pretty garden.

It’s great to see how the client and the Sanctum team have worked together to place the garden studio in an established garden – it looks like it’s been there forever and the installation of the studio has obviously had minimal disruption on the garden.

Sam from Sanctum Garden Studios explains why customers like their products:

[quote]Customers like the contemporary style of the studios with their incredibly competitive prices, they like the high quality materials and the way the studios are built, and the fact we will always talk personally to every customer with regard to their personal specification before installation, in fact we pride ourselves on building a really good relationship with all of our customers. We don’t just offer a standard studio – if a customer wants something specific in theirs, we do our best to accommodate them.”[/quote]
