Creating a Garden Room.

A functional space designed to complement your lifestyle

The Essentials

What is a Garden Room?

A Garden Room is a standalone, insulated structure in a homeowner’s garden. It is a versatile, year-round space, separate from the main house.

They differ from a shed or outbuilding, which are wood-panel structures. They get damaged in extreme weather. A garden room is a space designed to live in. They are well insulated, have an electrical supply, and plumbing. Features required to comply with building regulations.

Garden rooms can serve many purposes. Read about our top eight design ideas and their benefits below.

Legislation

Does a Garden Room require planning?

In the UK, most garden rooms do not require planning permission if they meet certain criteria. This is referred to as permitted development rights.

There are conditions that separate a permitted development installation from one that needs planning permission. Please arrange a consultation with our architects for legal advice on your project.
