Do you have an oddly shaped area in your garden that seems unsuitable for a garden room? Don’t let the unconventional shape deter you—a bespoke garden room can be designed to fit perfectly into any space, making the most of every inch.
Swift Unlimited excels at crafting custom garden rooms for even the most unique spaces. A recent project in Bristol showcases their expertise in overcoming challenges such as irregular plot shapes and Conservation Area restrictions.
Bespoke Design for an Irregular Plot
For this particular project, the plot’s triangular shape presented a challenge. After a site visit, the design team at Swift Unlimited decided to follow the contours of the plot, ensuring a spacious yet functional layout. To meet Conservation Area guidelines, the building was designed as a standalone building with a 150mm gap from the existing garden walls, eliminating any impact on the original structures.
Clever Use of Natural Light
Natural light is essential in a garden room, but side wall glazing was not an option for this build. Swift Unlimited addressed this by incorporating a large set of bi-fold doors on the front elevation. To maximise light at the rear, where the walls meet and taper, an opening skylight was added. This thoughtful feature floods the room with natural light, even in the darkest corners.
Aesthetic and Practical Roofing
A living sedum roof was chosen for its ability to blend the garden room seamlessly into its surroundings. This option is particularly appealing when the roof will be visible from above, offering a natural, low-maintenance alternative to traditional EPDM rubber roofing.
Stylish Finishing Touches
A subtle roof overhang on the front elevation accommodates external-grade LED lights, creating a soft glow across the front of the building. Internally, the room boasts plastered and decorated walls and ceilings, paired with durable wooden flooring. The electrical system is fully installed and connected to the mains for complete functionality.
Indoor-Outdoor Flow
The inclusion of a tapered deck along the front of the garden room adds to its usability and aesthetic appeal. Positioned at the same height as the internal flooring, the deck enhances the sense of space when the bi-fold doors are open, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out.
Built for Comfort Year-Round
This garden room is designed for year-round use, with excellent thermal and acoustic insulation ensuring a comfortable space in any season.
Transforming Unique Spaces
This project demonstrates how even the most irregularly shaped plots can accommodate a stylish, functional garden room. Whether your garden is square, rectangular, or entirely unique, Swift Unlimited can design a solution tailored to your space.
