A cedar-clad garden room dropped into an established ornamental garden, fully serviced, properly drained and finished with bifolds onto new stone steps.
The clients had a beautifully established, terraced ornamental garden, mature topiary, stone balustrades and sloping lawns, and wanted to add a garden room without losing the character of the space it sat in.
That meant working carefully around existing planting and levels, and building something refined enough to deserve its setting.
A sloping site was excavated and levelled, with new drainage trenched in and a posted, concrete-set foundation to carry the structure off the ground. Onto that we built an insulated subframe, IKO insulation board over a treated timber base, with soil, waste, water and electrical services all run and lagged before the deck went down.
It's the groundwork that separates a building from a shed.
An insulated timber frame and OSB-sheathed structure went up with a clean mono-pitch roof, then was clad in Western Red Cedar with a slim anthracite roof trim. A wide grey aluminium bifold and picture window open the room onto a new set of curved stone steps that tie it back into the existing terrace.
The result is a warm, year-round room that looks like it has always belonged there.
Site excavated and levelled, drainage trenched in and posted foundations concreted.
Insulated, serviced subframe and a timber frame raised over a clean mono-pitch.
Cedar cladding, aluminium bifolds and curved stone steps complete the room.
