This sleek garden office was built for a client in West Sussex who wanted to move their home office out of the house and into the garden. In order to meet our brief of providing a contemporary design, we included Western Red Cedar cladding. This softwood cladding has beautiful tones of brown, red and orange. The sliding doors and full length window allow natural light to flood in to the room, whilst the desk height window offers views across the garden. We can add an area of separate storage to all of our garden room builds. In the case of this structure, we have hidden the entrance to the side of the building and have continued the cedar cladding across the door. As a result, the room is concealed but offers the storage space needed. The interior of the storage is ply-lined, offering a durable solution for garden storage on the garden room.

The Lite Pod is a large, open plan garden studio offering greater flexibility for various uses including a home or commercial garden office. The attractive exterior design features premium grade Siberian Larch cladding, large contemporary aluminium sliding doors with modern slim line frames and a large frameless feature window. All perfectly colour matched in either a dark grey or black finish. This state-of-the-art Lite pod design continues with aluminium base and roof flashings and a durable, open jointed rain screen, one of the Pod Space signature design features. With an attractive high-end finish this sizeable yet economical pod doesn’t compromise on space or quality. The Lite Pod is a garden studio like no other, high performance natural insulation reduces heat loss to ensure the Lite Pod is very energy efficient and by integrating optional renewables (green energy) the Pod becomes even more cost effective on temperature control. With impressive levels of acoustic insulation the Lite Pod is also perfect for a productive garden studio, home office Pod, music room and home recording studio. We can also customise your Lite Pod with many striking design features including an extended decked area, an optional recessed blind built into the structure of the pod, fixed vertical louvres or an additional slim slot window. Plus, a furniture and lighting upgrade can help make it the perfect space for you. Contact us to discuss how a Lite Pod can become your dream studio space.

Green roof in full sun is harder than in the shade. Sterilized shale is used here over slightly sloped rubber membrane with sedum plants plugged into shale and then watered with drip irrigation for first two summers depending on rain amount. Garden fence holds back deer, rabbits and ground hogs. Roof scuppers provide water to the butterfly garden. Raised beds mean less bending over and better weed control. tkd
