Small Garden Rooms
Small garden rooms can work in almost any garden, even very compact spaces. Often referred to as pods, these buildings are fully insulated, include electrics, and are designed for comfortable, year-round use — just plug in and enjoy.
As the examples below show, small garden rooms are incredibly versatile, commonly used as home offices, gyms, music rooms, or relaxed leisure spaces. We class a small garden room as having a footprint under 10sqm.

Small Garden Room Examples
These articles showcase some of the smallest garden room projects we have featured. While compact in size, these buildings are just as well-specified as their larger counterparts. The examples include a mix of pre-designed ranges, where configurations such as doors, windows, and features have been tailored to the owner's preferences—these options are often available in popular standard sizes. Other projects highlight bespoke designs, where every aspect of the building has been developed in collaboration with the client. Bespoke design is particularly valuable when you want a building that maximises the space you have available.
Pretty Garden Office Meets Planning Brief
Facing strict planning regulations, Timeless Garden Rooms created a bespoke garden office blending tradition and functionality. Highlights include Cedar shingle roofing, a green weatherboard exterior, a veranda for climbing plants, and strategic planting to soften its appearance near a public footpath.
