The brief: This family of four wanted a versatile garden room that provided both a relaxing, light-filled space and a practical storage area. The design needed to maximise the 30sqm footprint, work around two established trees and offer a layout that supported the family’s hobbies and everyday routines.

Interior: The main room serves as a generous, light-filled playroom and cinema room, suited to both family time and everyday use. Remotely controlled underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort. The storage room provides ample space for bicycles and garden equipment, with enough left over for a small workshop bench and even a drum kit.

Exterior: The building is shaped by the two trees the owners wanted to preserve. The exterior is finished in Redwood cladding, including the deep overhang, giving the building a warm, natural appearance that complements the garden. The timber decking creates a cohesive look and offers a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors. The storage door and large bi-folding doors open directly onto the decking, allowing quick and effortless access.

The Result: A thoughtfully designed, highly functional garden room that blends practical storage with a bright, modern living space. The building makes full use of the available area while celebrating the natural landscape, giving the family a place to relax, play and stay organised.
