Width: 7.00m

Depth: 4.00m
Height: 2.49m
External Area: 28m2

Our customers from Winchester went for this wonderfully styled Garden Room which has the 4.8m bifold doors on the front this allows light to pour into the spacious room. The customer wanted a garden room for extra space, simply for winding down and listening to music, and occasionally a little bit of guitar practice, whilst looking out onto the very inspiring and scenic Winchester landscape. The outside of the lodge is finished in our popular Western Red Cedar, with a matching decked area.

Inside the Garden Room they wanted a very open and bright room so the large 4.8m aluminium bi-fold doors allow for plenty of light and in the summer it will allow the room to really open up onto the great outdoors. Finished with a laminate flooring with oak finish, with chrome down lights, plugs and sockets.

Overall, the Garden Studio took just a few weeks to construct and didn’t require planning permission, due to its height and overall size. Concrete pad foundations are installed first, where the structurally insulated panels (SIPs), which make up the shell of the Garden Building, are fitted on top of timber bearers.

The flat rubber EPDM-lined roof is then installed at a slight degree pitch to allow for rainwater drainage, and the windows and doors are fitted. Finally the walls are fully plastered and painted in matt white emulsion and the flooring is fitted. The electric and light fittings are also installed and tested. We always make sure to clear our on-site rubbish away, as well as give the new Garden Room a good clean before handing over the keys.

The stylish Lodge sat in the corner of the garden to a lovely Brighton home is being used for extra space and a bit of office space. Finished with vertically placed Western Red Cedar gives a rustic but modern style to the annexe and it compliments the space nicely. The large doors and windows on the front of the lodge allow for plenty of light to fill the room, also giving more of a connection to the outside space.

The inside of the lodge has been painted in white, decorated by the customer with a minimal style glass coffee table and desk and some lovely cream coloured sofas which really add to the contemporary feel of the build and helps to give it a modern feel.

Concrete pad foundations are first installed, on top of that timber bearers holds up the structurally insulated panels or SIPs, make up the shell of the garden building. The SIPs panels provide superior thermal performance which will last the life span of the building, and be cheaper to heat then a standard brick build.

The customer favoured the natural look of wood so chose our Western Red Cedar timber cladding for the exterior of the Garden Room.

Multi-Use Garden Office built in Hertfordshire

Posted on June 4, 2015June 8, 2015 by Garden Lodges

Flat roof Garden Office built by Garden Lodges

Garden Office
Width: 3.36m
Depth: 4.66m
Height: 2.49m
External Area: 15.65m2

A Garden Office suitable for a multitude of uses and doesn’t require planning permission were the main aims for the Muggleton family in Hertfordshire. So we designed a 15.65m2 Garden Room with a flat roof design and UPVC glazing, under 2.49m in height.

The Garden Room will be used as an office during the weekdays, so internet connection was vital. At weekends the Garden Room becomes a hangout for the Muggleton’s teenage son and daughter, so enough room for large comfy beanbags and wipe clean laminate flooring for any spills was also required.

The Garden Office is suitable for all-year use, as we construct all of our Garden Buildings using structurally insulated panels (SIPs) – keeping you warm in the winter and cooler in the summer months. For extra security, obscured glass was installed to the two casement windows to the side and rear of the Garden Room.

Our UPVC French doors and fixed frame windows that you can see either side of the entrance are also really insulated for both sound and to the elements. So if the teenagers decide to play loud music, it won’t bother the neighbours.

Al of our Garden Offices come fully plastered and painted in matt white emulsion as standard, as well as chrome down lights and finished in Western Red Cedar timber panels. Our prices are all-inclusive, so they include everything from the foundations, laminate flooring, decoration and the fitting of the electrics.

Garden Studio with Sedum Roof Completed in Winchester

Posted on April 23, 2015October 6, 2015 by Garden Lodges

Garden Studio Winchester — Garden Studio with Sedum Roof completed in Winchester

We’ve just finished a stunning new Garden Studio in Winchester for a customer who wanted a flexible garden room, where they could use it as an arts and crafts room, reading room, garden office and even an extra guest room, if needed.

We worked alongside the customer’s garden landscaper so that the setting of the Garden Studio was also beautiful. Choosing a Western Red Cedar timber clad exterior was the best choice for the Garden Room to fit in with its natural surroundings.

Our customer chose to upgrade their glazing to aluminium and lighting to a wireless control. For extra insulation and an eye-catching, ecological design feature, we also fitted a Sedum roof which has many positive benefits.

Powder coated aluminium floor to ceiling and casement windows and bi-folding doors were installed to give a premium look and feel to the Garden Studio. Benefits of choosing aluminium door and window frames are that the joinery is extra strong and weather resistant compared to UPVC, as well as being more aesthetically pleasing.

We’ve just finished building an ‘Oslo’ Garden Studio for a creative customer in North London, who works from home as a Set and Costume Designer for the theatre. Our customer wanted a peaceful office to work in, with lots of natural light to inspire the mind.

Our customer wanted a Garden Studio which didn’t require planning permission, so chose a 3.68m x 3.68m size Oslo which was 2.49m in height. The space allows for a large desk and a chair, plus a storage cabinet, a large shelving unit and a cosy designer chair in the corner for visitors.

Our Standard Non-Planning Models come in a range of standard sizes and set prices, however all prices include:

External painted cladding in carious colours
175mm structurally insulated panel (SIPs) walls

Our customer chose a pastel blue external paint called ‘Speculum’, which looks amazing contrasted with the grey UPVC door frames. To heat the Garden Studio, the customer wanted us to fit an electric wall heater for an additional cost. He was surprised that it only took around 10 minutes for the Garden Studio to heat up on a cold and frosty morning.
