Shed and Granny Flat Design Ideas

This gorgeous detached garden room in Wilmslow boasts Indossati flooring, wood panelling, two sets of bi-folding doors with integral blinds, a cloakroom & WC, and exquisite lighting features to complement the beautiful gardens. It was all built and complete in 2 weeks much to our client’s delight, and as with all of our buildings, is highly insulated for year-round use.

Our client had a desire to reinstate and recreate the unique wooden glasshouse that they were lucky enough to have in the grounds of their home, which they moved into around 20 years ago. Our client decided to replace the structure in aluminium, as it is far more durable than wood, with very little maintenance. The glasshouse no longer houses plants, but instead is available to hire for events and photoshoots. It is attached at the rear to the original wall which separates but also joins it to the original potting sheds and boiler house brickwork complex at the back, now restored and developed into beautifully furnished accommodation.

This model is available with 8 or 10 sides to provide a spacious garden retreat to enjoy great outdoor living. Ideal for formal or informal dining due to its generous size, The Wraysbury is the perfect garden addition, as a dining setting, an office, peaceful studio or even a music room, the possibilities are endless.

This render (CGI) shows how close our concept came to the finished reality. Incorporating your trophy sports car on a turntable as the centre focal point to your boys den. Gentleman's club touches like antiqued metal fretwork, leather padded walls and dark smoke mirror backdrops lend a more sophisticated man cave space.

An avid golfer, our client wanted to have the option to ‘golf’ year-round in the comfort of their own home. He envisioned a luxurious, multifunctional mancave that catered to their passion for golf while also serving as a versatile entertainment space. His dream was to have a high-quality bespoke building that could house a state-of-the-art golf simulator, a bar, a TV/sitting area, and a family leisure/movie room.

Studio Uno is an unexpected sanctuary for our client Naomi, a full-time carer and mother. Lying behind an established Brunswick terrace, it takes the shape of a meticulously designed Dependent Persons Unit. Naomi lives with her adult daughter, who has very high support needs. The nature of their circumstances means that living together under one roof isn’t always feasible. Naomi needed a certified DPU that met a simple brief: a dismantlable but quality retreat with warm, robust materials and a calming ambience. We’ve packed as much enduring quality and thoughtful design as possible into a compact footprint. Carefully engineered, the dwelling’s lightweight structure and internal linings enable it to be readily disassembled, transported and rebuilt elsewhere. It replaces the fence at the site’s rear, with its upper mass leaning into one corner to minimise impact on the neighbours’ skyscape. Inside, blackbutt timber and hoop pine plywood dominate the palette to create a warm, low-contrast and relaxing environment. The ground floor features dual sliding doors connecting to the courtyard and laneway, with a versatile living area between for retreat, Naomi’s art practice and above all, peacefulness. Lining the wall is a simple kitchenette, cabinetry, and a clever door concealing the bathroom. A staircase leads to the loft bedroom above, made deliberately cosy and secluded by the dwelling’s tapered form. It’s punctured only by a small window to the lane and a skylight above, offering light and ventilation without compromising privacy.
